JASON LEOPOLD: Cheney + Pakistan = Iran

When news last year of Pakistan’s clandestine nuclear program showed how the country's top nuclear scientist was secretly selling atomic bomb blueprints to Iran and North Korea, the so-called “Axis of Evil" (along with Iraq), world leaders waited to see how President Bush would punish Pakistan's President Pervez Musharaff.

Bush has, after all, spent his entire time in office talking tough about countries and dictators that conceal weapons of mass destruction, and even tougher about individuals who supply rogue nations and terrorists with the means to build WMDs. For all intents and purposes, Pakistan and Musharraf fit that description.

Bush, Vice President Cheney and top members of the administration reacted with shock when they found out that Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist, spent the past 15 years selling outlaw nations nuclear technology and equipment. So it was sort of a surprise when Bush, upon finding out about Khan’s proliferation of nuclear technology, let Pakistan off with a slap on the wrist.

But it was all an act. In fact, it was actually a cover-up designed to shield Cheney because he knew about the proliferation for more than a decade and did nothing to stop it.
