#1 The statement that Libya was further along than Iran on nukes is almost certainly untrue.

I do like the line "the best bus tour in intelligence history" but such a tour package would not have been booked without the lesson Sammy provided.

#2 I think the Col. made Libyan terrirory available for other countries' weapons labs. I wouldn't discount the fact that some of the end products made thier way into al Qaeda's hands.

But QKhGaddafi's flipped, so the US and UK know what was being made, who was making it, and who was paying him rent. We shoulnd't underestimate the importance of this.
