Muhammad Sahimi: Has Iran answered the IAEA's questions about Pakistan's 'merchant of menace"? (Part 2 of 6)

"When the agency questioned Iran about it [a document from Kahn that pointed to the making of a nuclear weaopn], Iran responded that when they bought the technology for uranium enrichment from the A. Q. Khan network in Pakistan, for the network to sweeten the deal and get a better deal in the future, they also threw in this document without Iran asking for it. And Iran claimed that they actually haven't done anything with the document."

    • A.Q. Khan was just adhering to the time tested rule of salesmanship: Under-promise, over-deliver! It's sort of like the free "E.T." lunchboxes and "Thriller" cassettes that we threw in with the last shipment of TOW and Hawk missiles we sold to Iran back in the 80s.

      (Yes, I know we didn't throw in any free "E.T." lunchboxes or "Thriller" cassettes. ;-) But then, we'll never know for sure since Ollie & Co. shredded most of the Iran-Contra documents.)
