Sorry to return to this depressing topic, but the two greatest threats to the US are almost certainly nuclear proliferation and the large amounts of nuclear material still held under worryingly insecure conditions in worryingly insecure countries. Seen in this light, the apparent failure of the administration to make enough use of the Lugar program on ex-Soviet missiles (which I posted about earlier on the Corner) is disturbing, and so too may this be.

To be fair, it may well be that the notion that the US is not talking directly to Dr. Khan is no more than disinformation.

Lets hope so.
