A.Q. Khan Takes Back Nuclear ConfessionPosted on May 29, 2008
Did he or didn’t he? Four years ago, A.Q. Khan, often referred to as the “Father of the Pakistani Bomb,” confessed that he had passed nuclear secrets to North Korea, Iran and Libya. Now, as he awaits his possible release from house arrest, Khan says he made a false confession.

A.Q. Khan is right.. he did not “pass on” nuclear bomb building knowledge and hardware to sleazy regimes of Libya, Iran, and North Korea. Rather, he sold it to them for a lot of personal profit. A.Q. Khan’s shady and illegal nuclear transactions made him a millionaire . A.Q. Khan is like those low-life thieves who steal stuff from their own employer, and sell the merchandise to equally sleazy characters. A.Q. Khan exploited his name and prestige for personal gain. Naming A.Q. Khan as the “father” of Pakistan’s Nuclear Bomb, convinced him that he personally owned Pakistan’s nuclear program. Which is why he thinks he has done no wrong.
A.Q. Khan does have a point. Such a wide international nuclear smuggling operation could not have been done without co-conspirators in Pakistan’s dictatorial government. Through lavish bribes, A.Q. Khan was sharing his ill-gotten wealth with key Pakistani Generals in-charge of the corrupt government of Pakistan. This ring of criminals includes General Musharraf and many others.
A.Q. Khan’s is, therefore, right. His forced confession was obtained not to save the “country” but to save the corrupt Generals and other Pakistani officials who shared A.Q. Khan’s loot obtained from N.Korea, Libya, and Iran.
