Love and Betrayal
The love of a woman is a rotten thing.
In an account given to SPIEGEL, the wife of Pakistani nuclear scientist
Abdul Qadir Khan lodges serious accusations against President Pervez
Musharraf. She claims her husband, currently under house arrest, was
not a nuclear dealer, and that he only ever «executed the instructions
he was given» by the government. A trip to North Korea, she alleges,
was carried out «at the specific request» of Musharraf.In his 2006 memoir, «In the Line of Fire,» Musharraf claimed «with
confidence» that neither he nor his government nor any member of
Pakistan's Army had any prior knowledge of A.Q. Khan's alleged nuclear
network. «On the basis of the thorough probe that we conducted in
2003-2004,» Musharraf wrote, «I can say with confidence that neither
the Pakistan Army nor any of the past governments of Pakistan was ever
involved or had any knowledge of A.Q.'s proliferation activities. The
show was completely A.Q.'s.»
Khan's perfidy predates Musharraf's stewardship, buts it's a toss-up which scumbag smells worse in this regard. But, throwing an accomplice under the bus never seemed so romantic.
