| Question about the IAEA - where are the critics? |
| 2004-02-12 |
| This isn’t an article but a question I have. Where are the critics on the UN’s IAEA? I have’t heard anything about their abysmal failure to prevent nuclear info from spreading (via Pakistan) to the black market. Isn’t that what their job is? Why hasn’t anyone pointed this out? It is a PERFECT example why the UN is not the save-all that so many on the left claim it is. Why hasn’t the Right effectively brought this to everyones attention? |

| #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. |

| #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. |

| #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. |
