What a shocker. [ http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=6844621&src=rss/worldNews§ion=news ] A.Q. Khan (whom I've written about here [ http://www.usamnesia.com/2004/03/sy-hershs-most-recent-article-in-new.html ] and here [ http://www.usamnesia.com/2004/10/aq-khan-ed.html ]) is alleged to have provided highly enriched uranium to Iran in 2001.
Khan, we're told [ http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/05/debate.transcript/index.html ], has been "brought to justice" for his black-market peddling. The U.S. still hasn't interrogated him, and Musharraf has refused to allow [ http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20041001-054443-3141r.htm ] IAEA access to Khan, who is said to be living large after being pardoned by the president.

Iran readies uranium for nuke enrichment-diplomats
Last updated: 19-11-04, 16:17
Iran is preparing large amounts of uranium for enrichment, a process that can be used to make nuclear weapons, days before its promise to freeze all such activities takes effect, Western diplomats said today.
"The Iranians are producing UF6 (uranium hexafluoride) like hell," a diplomat on the governing board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said. "The machines are running."
UF6 is the form of uranium that is fed into gas centrifuges, which purify uranium for use as fuel in nuclear power plants or weapons, by spinning at supersonic speeds.
Iran had promised the European Union it would freeze enrichment as of November 22.

US accusations on Iran 'based on single source'
By Philippe Naughton, Times Online
Colin Powell's accusation this week that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear ballistic missile was based on information that is from a single, unvetted source, the Washington Post claimed today.
A US official with access to the highly classified material is said to have told the newspaper that the information came from a "walk-in" source who approached US intelligence earlier this month.
Pentagon officials are said to be discussing possible military action to neutralize Iran's nuclear weapons threat, according to a report in London's Observer. US administration sources are quoted as saying that air strikes – "either by the US or Israel" – to wipe out Iran's fledgling nuclear program would be difficult because of a lack of clear intelligence about where key components are located.
Instead, sources quoted by the paper said the Pentagon is considering strikes in support of regime change, including attacks on the leadership, as well as on political and security targets

U.S. Pores Over Transcripts to Try to Oust Nuclear Chief
By Dafna Linzer

The Bush administration has dozens of intercepts of Mohamed ElBaradei's phone calls with Iranian diplomats and is scrutinizing them in search of ammunition to oust him as director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, according to three U.S. government officials.
But the diplomatic offensive will not be easy. The administration has failed to come up with a candidate willing to oppose ElBaradei, who has run the agency since 1997, and there is disagreement among some senior officials over how hard to push for his removal, and what the diplomatic costs of a public campaign against him could be.
Powell is probably right. Unfortunately he has a bit of a credibility problem, thanks to Uncle George. And Colin Powell's tragic flaw was that he allowed himself to be pressurised into becoming a mouthpiece for lies. Something in him gave way when it should have stood firm, given the man's record and character. Probably My Lai (or his lie perhaps) caused some chink in his psychic and moral armour.
Rarely does a (fallen) hero's tragic flaw pose such a threat to the safety of the world though.
If we doubt General Powell, as we sadly now must, then insufficient gravity must be attached to his portents as a result. And how much greater must our doubt be towards everything Bush and his second term of office tells us?
If we survive his second term of office. What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive eh George?
