Our friends the Pakistanis

Pakistani bomb scientist says government made him do it, recants his "confession" that he and he alone sold nuclear weapons secrets and bomb-making equipment to North Korea, Iran, and Libya.

Anybody who thought that a single rogue scientist could ship bomb-making equipment was looney toonz to begin with, so this isn't surprising. But it's just another example of how our "friends" in southwest Asia are our "friends" in pretty much the same way that a rattlesnake is.
