#1 They'd better ring the entire nation. Pakistan is a cancer on this earth.

#2 I just had the idea for a great black op. If we could send in a team to kidnap A.Q. Khan, and make it look like he had been taken by Islamists, it would solve a lot of problems.

First of all, he would have to do a Jimmy Hoffa, never be seen again. This would be our payoff for his proliferating nuclear weapons. It would also serve as warning to other ambitious scientists who would want to do the same.

Second, by implying that he was taken either by al-Qaeda or Iran, would allow us to justify actions that me might want to take against them.

Third, because he is a Pakistani national hero, it would piss off the average Pakistani on the street at al-Qaeda, Islamists in general, and Iran in particular.

In other words, a win-win.

#3 'moose, are you thinking of Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan's "father of the bomb" ?

Imram Khan is no friend of the US, but his background was as a cricket player before he became a politician.
