To that extent, the Pakistani establishment is not alone in its nurturing of the Khan network and a number of recent books and documents throw valuable light on this dark chapter of the global nuclear trajectory. ‘Deception’ by Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark (Penguin, 2007) is the most rigorous volume that has appeared about the Khan ‘confession’ and the conclusion of the authors merits recall.

‘In reality, Khan’s confession was a ruse. It takes more than one person to make a mess of this proportion. Khan was the fall guy…the nuclear bazaar Khan claimed to have orchestrated certainly existed, but where the public and private stories diverged was that the covert trade in doomsday technology was not the work of one man, but the foreign policy of a nation, plotted and supervised by Pakistan’s ruling military clique, supposedly a key ally in America’s war on terror. The true scandal was how the trade and the Pakistan military’s role in it had been discovered by high-ranking US and European officials, many years before, but rather than interdict it they had worked hard to cover it up,’ the authors said.

In its lust for power and dollars, Pakistan military leadership did everthing from selling its people to selling Pakistan’s sovereignty and independence. It facilitated the break up of Pakistan in 1970’s and for continuing dictatorial military regimes in power, it served the US like a slave against the Afghanistan occupation by the Soviet and is serving the US again in the illegal occupation of the same country with paying a huge price at home. Following the neocons and zionists’ agenda, it is provoking reaction and creating “terrorists” at home. Pakistan army is the target and the army continues shooting itself in the foot for the very enemies that are out there with full determination to make it history. Interests of the few corrupt generals at the top and nafarious designs of the Qadiani King leading them (Musharraf) will soon bring an end to the Paksitan as we know it today.
