#2 Because the Right (at least the portion of it made up of me) considers the IAEA to be a worthless example of bureaucratic masturbation that may very well be involved in covering up the weapons trade instead of investigating it. It's not really worth criticizing a group of the corrupt for not finding crimes.

#3 Why criticize. Those with open eyes no the IAEA to be unrepentent in their incompetance. Those with closed eyes don't see the problem.

#4 IAEA can rightfully be faulted for being rooked on the pre-Gulf War Iraq program, Iran's program, Libya's program and North Korea's uranium program.

But not for anything happening in Pakistan--Pakistan was never an NPT member and so was not under IAEA monitoring.

The IAEA is a lousy cop, but Pakistan wasn't in their jurisdiction.
