Notice how all US and Israeli media talk about Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan as the "evil scientist" or "Dr. Srangelove." This makes you wonder. What about all the American scientists (at MIT and other places) who have designed weapons that are far more lethal and devastating than whatever was produced by A.Q. Khan's labs. Are those "angel scientists"? Or is the designation a function of the ethnicity and religion of the scientist in question? Furthermore, the revelations about Pakistani covert activities, from the standpoint of US own rhetoric, should justify an invasion of Pakistan not Iraq. But who cares about logic or consistency.
