Hmmm..
For five years, the U.S. government has prevented Edmonds from speaking publicly on what she knows, claiming State Secrets Privilege. The Times got the exclusive on the story, eerily titled “For Sale: West’s Deadly Nuclear Secrets,” by talking to a number of Edmonds’ close associates who were not under a gag order, and by filling in pieces of the puzzle from Sibel Edmonds herself.
Exclusively, Edmonds told the Times about an FBI case file marked 203A-WF-210023. One arm of the FBI denied the file’s existence to the Times; another arm of the FBI provided the Times with a signed document confirming its existence. All of the info in the file predates A.Q. Kahn — the father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb — admitting he had been secretly selling nuclear weapons technology to Libya, Iran, and North Korea.
Edmonds told the Times, “I can tell you that that file and the operations it refers to did exist from 1996 to February 2002. The file refers to the counterintelligence programme [sic] that the Department of Justice has declared to be a state secret to protect sensitive diplomatic relations.” More on the story.
Remember this piece that posted sometime ago?
Gen. Wesley Clark Says Pentagon Had Plan in 2001 to Attack Seven Countries in Five Years
AMY GOODMAN: So, go through the countries again.
GEN. WESLEY CLARK: Well, starting with Iraq, then Syria and Lebanon, then Libya, then Somalia and Sudan, and back to Iran.

Finally, remember Scooter Libby? I posted in late 2006 a filing of Libby and his attorney wanted classified information to help with his defense. One of the classified info that Libby needed was on A.Q. Khan. Here it is:
The issue of the "topic summaries"--the nine things Libby says he was "consumed" by, which caused him to forget he had outed Plame. One topics which Judge Walton excluded was:
Nuclear proliferation by Pakistan scientist A. Q. Khan and efforts by the US to stop his activities.

With this information the picture is becoming clearer. Now it makes since why Bush/Cheney only talked about Iraq and not other countries at the time of the invasion. The fake push for North Korea was just that. Now with all this information coming out just how many top level people knew and covered it up. Yes I know the White House was the ring leader but others had to play their part too. One word comes to mind TREASON.
