Bush Admin Thwarted Investigation of Pakistani Nuke Sales Dr.

Kahn Job: Bush Spiked Probe of Pakistan?s Dr. Strangelove, BBC reported in 2001

On November 7, 2001, BBC TV and the Guardian of London reported that the
Bush Administration thwarted investigations of Dr. A.Q. Kahn who this week
confessed selling atomic secrets to Libya, North Korea, and Iran.

The Bush Administration has expressed shock at the disclosures that
Pakistan, our ally in the war on terror, has been running a nuclear secrets
bazaar. In fact, according to the British News Team sources', Bush did not
know of these facts because, shortly after his inauguration, his National
Security Agency defectively stymied the probe of Kahn Research Laboratories.
CIA and other agents could not investigate the spread of Islamic Bombs
through Pakistan because funding appeared to originate in Saudi Arabia.

Greg Palast and David Pallister received a California State University
Project Censored Award for this expose based on the story broadcast by
Palast on BBC Television Newsnight.

According to both sources and documents obtained by the BBC, the Bush
Administration Spike of the investigation of Dr. Kahn's Lab followed from a
wider policy of protecting key Saudi Arabians including the Bin Laden
Family.

Noam Chomsky, who read the story on page one of the Times of India, has
wondered, "Why wasn't this all over US papers?"
