Khan to Musharraf: Let’s make a deal
Hmm, your former employer has made you a patsy, fired you from your job, hung you out to dry, and ruined your reputation. What do you? Well, if you are former CBS anchor man Dan Rather, you do what any red blooded American would do. You hire a lawyer and sue the bastards.
A front company by any other name is still a front company
On June 13 the Washington Times ran an article asserting that Iran is using newly created front companies in a bid to frustrate US and United Nations sanctions on its suspect nuclear programs.

Khan? I’ll get back to you on that
Since I just blogged about Iran I’m thinking what does it say about American intelligence abilities that some of the best information on Iran’s nuclear program and, for that matter, Khan’s network, has come from private sources. Now I’ve got nothing against private sources; in fact, I’ve long been a huge proponent of increased reliance on OSINT. But it does raise the issue of how effective and interested the US government is in taking out clandestine nuclear trafficking networks.
