Is it possible that the 'AQ Khan network' is actually a misnomer - in the most literal sense - that they used the wrong name? Perhaps it should be called the D. Rumsfeld Network. Or the D. Cheney Network. Or perhaps the R. Perle Network. Here's Stanton (talking about Sibel):

"US officials like Cheney and Rumsfeld—and those operating in and out of government, (and their counterparts in Pakistan and Turkey) took a Pontius Pilate approach to Pakistan’s black market acquisition of nuclear weapons components, as well as Turkey’s complicity in helping that cause through drug money profits, to include the illicit manufacture of parts essential to a nuclear weapon. According to Anwar Iqbal of UPI (October 2004), Turkish workshops “made the centrifuge motor and frequency converters used to drive the motor and spin the rotor to high speeds. These workshops imported subcomponents from Europe and elsewhere, and they assembled these centrifuge items in Turkey. Under false end-user certificates, the components were then shipped to Dubai…”"

This is also the crux of why it is essential to begin impeachment proceedings against Cheney and to get to the bottom of this nexus of corruption involving the neocons in our government.
