its like the US administration is fedup with Paks and the clowns are going to give the circus away. Wel it would be a great loss for the US coz one needs strong and stuant allies to be a superpower.
A MIGHTYcolony lost by US...

Not gonna happen.Mark my words.

i think the money will continue to flow and they will not be able to have an access for AQ Khan

So this statement will be proved false very soon INSHA'ALLAH

i am afraid our current President is Zardari so any unexpected thing could also take place

Nuclear Assets are under Army Control.

but AQ Khan has a fair contribution in pakistan's nuclear program...they can get some secret info out of him..isnt it?

 

[Awesome]

Isn't AQ Khan a free man now?

By what lawful authority would they give access to him to anyone

 

[ajpirzada]

never gonna happen...... access to AQ Khan mean access to pak military

 

[koolio]

AQ is a free citizen I cant see how any government will hand him over to anyone it will be too suicidal for any political government.

It'll be better for Pakistan not to accept the money from U.S. then. We would rather be poor than be harassed.

Wow, Rep Harmon and her colleagues seem to have a lot of clout: chair-persons and ranking members of key defence and homeland sec House Committees.

I'm not sure of the threat perception: do these people really think Khan poses a clear and present danger today, or is this a punitive measure, the intention being to conduct a post-mortem of his activities. The tone of the text suggests the latter, so its possible the bill may not get the required numbers if members feel it could alienate GoP and disrupt WoT effort on the ground. I'm also unsure of Prez view on AQ Khan.
