#1 If Perv is so enraged, he can place Khan into our hands for some less-than-gentle questioning.

[Our special prisoner requires the # 4 truncheon, Miggs, if you please.]

#2 Perv is making quite the understatement here. That incident was much worse than embarrassing. The worlds very first nuclear exchange will be directly traceable back to Khan. If Oppenhiemer was referencing himself when he quoted Hindu scripture he was wrong, it is Khan who is death, the destroyer of worlds.

#3 Embarassing? Embarassment is what one feels when caught propositioning one's hostess, or pissing on the rosebush. Not what one feels when one's pet scientist is revealed to be doing what one ordered him to do. Just how stupid does he think we are?

#4 Ah yes. "My Most Embarassing Moment". This is destined to be a classic in the Reader's Digest.

"I distinctly recall telling AQ: ' No selling nuclear secrets to other nations!' You can imagine my horror when I found out...."

#5 Peoples' language is usually pretty revealing.

Musharraf doesn't feel guilty about Khan's proliferation. He doesn't worry about the effects on world peace or security.

He DOES worry about his image. That's it, folks. He's being straight up with us.

#6 As if Perv did not know what was going on with Kahn and Iran/North Korea.

He is only embarrassed that he was caught out!!!!!
