The No Win Scenario

You know how the BBC will portray the United States in the worst possible light, no matter what? You know how the BBC has been railing against the United States for detaining Italians? Well, now the BBC is railing against the United States again... For not detaining a Pakistani citizen.

Pakistani nuclear expert AQ Khan was not arrested when living in the Netherlands as the CIA was monitoring him, an ex-Dutch prime minister says.

Ruud Lubbers said the CIA had asked the Netherlands in 1975 not to prosecute Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is now dubbed the father of Pakistan's atom bomb.

Mr Khan admitted last year that he had leaked nuclear secrets to North Korea, Libya and Iran.

He came under suspicion while working for a Dutch uranium firm, Urenco.

He has been under close guard at his home in Islamabad since his public confession.

According to Mr Lubbers, US intelligence wanted to find out more about Mr Khan's contacts while he was working as an engineer at the top secret Dutch uranium enrichment plant at Almelo.

Now, call me crazy, but wasn't this thirty years ago? The audacity of the BBC, to basically try to call out the CIA for not nabbing this guy thirty years ago, is absolutely ridiculous.
