Pakistan Fires Top Nuclear Scientist (washingtonpost.com)

Pakistan Fires Top Nuclear Scientist (washingtonpost.com)

This is a story that completes the negative trifecta of today's postings. Pakistan spent an inordinate amount of money, given its development problems, on nuclear weapons technology. Then its most respected scientist appears to have stolen and sold that technology on the black market to Iran, Lybia, and North Korea (another negative trifecta!).

This is a story about a developing nation succeeding in getting knowledge, but of the wrong kind, and misusing it! So much for "K4D".
