There was a time not very long ago when �transportation� of criminals from petty thieves to murders, was frequent to the British Colony in A British think tank International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) published a dossier about the Dr AQ Khan and nuclear proliferation. I mentioned to Mark Fitzpatrick before the launch that word �dossier� is associated with lies, deception and dodgy in the context of Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMDs). I told him that more than 170 British companies were involved in the Iraqi chemical and biological weapons program according to Channel 4. When journalist presented the list of the companies supplied chemical and biological material to Saddam Hussein regime to Ministry of Defence, the response was something like �list is correct�. The moral of the story is that people don�t trust the dodgy dossiers and biased reports. I asked Dr John Chipman director general of the IISS and Mark Fitzpatrick editor of dossier Nuclear Black Markets: Mark Fitzpatrick agreed that there is no nuclear program in the world where proliferation did not happened; According to my knowledge Dr Khan has not violated any national or international law. He could be charged with smuggling or illegal trading like British use to trade in drugs (opium) with If Israel who is not NPT signatory can be allowed to have nuclear weapons and program because it is �surrounded by hostile neighbours� why cant Iran who is NPT signatory allowed to have a peaceful nuclear program under IAEA safe guards. What is the point on signing NPT when one cannot benefit of it? I think its time that NPT should be reviewed if it is not serving the purpose. J Wilkerson former chief of staff of Colin Powel said something like, �what we know now is that sources of the intelligence on Iraqi WMDS were not credible and Colin Powel was probably misled and deliberately sent to the UN Security Council with false or half true information. The name �Chelabi� an Iraqi exile seems central to most of the information US had on biological, chemical and nuclear programs. In the current scenario Benazir Bhutto is doing exactly what Chelabi did. She is misleading the westerns by saying something like that �mullahs� are going to take control of �Pakistani Nukes� as if they are lying in some fruit market. One doesn�t expect these types of irresponsible comments from some one who has been Prime Minister twice. Pakistanis are smart enough to look after their nuclear assets. It seems Benzair Bhutto has commissioned herself with tasks like �de-Islamisation, de-nuclearisation, and de commissioning of On 25th October 2007 in a joint press conference at No.10 Doweing Street official residence of British Prime Minsiter, with Afghan President Hamid Karzai the British Prime Minsiter Gordon Brown did not answer my question, �British People expect high standards both moraly and integrity from their politicians. Many Pakistanis are asking than why People of The British captured more than 700 rockets and subsystems of 900 rockets in the battle of Turukhanahally in 1799. Tipu Sultan�s army had 27 brigades called Kushoons, and each brigade had a company of rocket men, called Jourks. These rockets had been taken to Tipu Sultan was the only ruler in the world who died in the battlefield fighting the enemy according to a French scholar. Tipu Sultan reigned 1782-1799 and died in May 1799, fighting the combined forces of British and collaborators, the Nizam of Hyderabad, and the Marhattas. He lost the battle because of deceit and treachery by collaborators. Iraqis and Pakistanis have learnt how to deal with occupiers and invaders i.e. �kill the collaborators first�. Pakistanis are keeping close eyes on their collaborators living both in and outside of US must check its own back yard as far as nuclear safety is concerned. Its own pilots have been sacked for flying around with live nuclear warheads for hours and claimed �they thought it was dummy� not very long ago. How irresponsible and dangerous is that?
