#3 Call me suspicious, but I think FRANCE is somewhere in this nuclear woodpile of the Iranians, too.
After all, they helped Saddam get Osirak...
France is hiding something still and it's big and bad.

#4 Pakistan seems to be looking for a fall guy:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan acknowledged Monday that some scientists participating in its nuclear program may have been involved in the proliferation of sensitive technology, the government's top spokesman said Monday. Pakistan's government has strongly denied allegations it spread nuclear technology to countries such as Iran and North Korea but said it was investigating whether individual scientists acted without authorization.
"Some individuals may have been doing something on their own. We are investigating that," Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told The Associated Press. At least two scientists from Khan Research Laboratories, the country's top nuclear laboratory, have been held for questioning this month, including Mohammad Farooq, its former director general. Officials have declined to give details about the "in-house" investigations and what allegations the scientists faced. One of the scientists has been allowed to return home, but Farooq, an aide to the founder of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, Abdul Qadeer Khan, is still in custody.
"Dr. Farooq is still undergoing a dependability and debriefing session," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Masood Khan.

Dr. Farooq must have drawn the short straw.
