...After weaving through the Baghdad traffic, the three cars came to a halt in gridlock on Route Irish. It was a few minutes before noon. American troops had blocked the road to clear away the remains of a car damaged by a bomb. Civilian vehicles between the convoy and the roadblock turned off to find alternative routes. The security men, wearing white Arab robes, sat quietly in the line of traffic. Then team leader Johnson climbed out of Ahmelman's car and began firing in the air to warn other vehicles to stay clear - an act which clearly identified...
...Besides threatening to deflate my trophy case, this deal is dangerous on several counts. It assumes that if North Korea were allowed light-water power plants, the presence of international inspectors would preclude illicit bomb-making. But a study completed last year by my organization (the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center in Washington, D.C.) detailed how a country such as North Korea could divert spent or fresh reactor fuel from a large light-water reactor to a small, hidden reprocessing or enrichment plant without inspectors finding out in time to block the material from being made into bombs. The U.S. State...
...Consider his enriched-uranium-bomb project. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf testified to Pyongyang's receipt of assistance from Pakistan's uranium-enrichment guru, A.Q. Khan. But Pyongyang denies having a program, and U.S. intelligence agencies don't know where or how many enrichment plants exist. It's unlikely inspectors could operate any more freely in North Korea than they did in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. There's no good way to locate Kim's nukes using special technology. Inspectors will have to ask the regime to learn more, and Kim is sure to demand that the U.S. make concessions...
...would give Iran the technical means to create weapons-grade nuclear material. That stance hardened with the election of conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who last week insisted that Iran would never give up the "right" to enrich uranium and scoffed at Western concerns that Iran was building a bomb...
...long insisted Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb; Iran has denied it, saying that its program is purely for civilian energy purposes. It nevertheless admitted to concealing elements of the program for decades, and then only when forced to by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. The EU , Canada and Japan , among other nations, now agree that that Iran is is "non compliance" with the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty, a finding that allows referral to the Security Council, although with no specific timetable. Russia and China and countries of the Non-Aligned Movement such as South Africa...
