As far for those wondering whether Army was involved in the Proliferation network or not.....this is how mushy accounted himself on this topic:
The COAS was unable to give a satisfactory answer to Kroft’s probing question as to how 18 tonnes of nuclear material could have been smuggled out of the country without the Army’s knowledge.
The president accused nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan: “He gave them centrifuge designs. He gave them centrifuge parts. And he gave them centrifuges.” Kroft then confronted General Musharraf: “By your own account in the book, Dr AQ Khan shipped two dozen centrifuges to North Korea and 18 tonnes of material and centrifuges to Libya and Iran. How was all of this material moved without someone in the government or the Army finding out about it?”
General Musharraf tried to make the task seem easy: “First of all, bringing these centrifuges or their parts, these are not huge elements. They can be put into your car and moved.” Kroft asked: “You think he moved 18 tonnes of material in his car?” He said the material was moved over a long period of time.
For the people of Pakistan, Kroft made a startling disclosure when he said, “But we’ve been to your nuclear facilities enough to know that they’re very heavily guarded and the military is all around them”. An American television crew inside Pakistan’s “nuclear facilities”!
Dr IH Usmani the then chairman of Pakistani Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and the founder of Pakistan’s nuclear establishment, was never allowed inside Kahuta. Top physicists working under Dr AQ Khan were not allowed inside Kahuta. Israel has not allowed Jewish US senators inside its “nuclear facilities”. But the CBS crew went inside Pakistan’s “nuclear facilities” simply to promote a book!
