teribus I would 'imagine' that Khan was fully interrogated as well
but thats only an assumption - but it is a fact that he was immediately pardoned - and his confession which was taped and played
on pakistani tv implied that he didnt do this on his own - I find it hard to believe that he wouldnt - after all the Pakistani secret service the ISI set up the Taliban (and were friendly with Mohammed ATTA)

as for your point on my historical references being more fiction,
the only points you really dispute are US arms to Iraq (we can really quibble over that - they certainly provided satellite intelligence, computer databases to keep track of opponents, and according to a former Reagan adviser Teicher (who swore in an affidavit that the CIA supplied Saddam with non-us weapons)

whether he was in their 'pocket' is quibbling as well, because the cia helped Saddam out a number of times in the 60s and whether or not they really controlled him is beside the point, he was on their side
and they used him. (which after all wasnt an uncommon thing with US policy - Shah of iran, Pinochet, Noriega or is that fiction too?)

and whether or not they supplied him with weaponized anthrax and other bio-agents or samples for 'defense' is quibling too. (only takes a few unemployed ex-soviet bio-weapon experts to help out)
This was at a time when they knew he was a bastard and Lack of Iraqi Freedom Didnt seem to bother Rumsfeld one bit.

and your point about the US supplying arms to Iran? sure we all know about the IRan Contra deal. SOmething Reagan couldnt REMEMBER, and even if he did, George BUsh I immediately pardoned him.
(a lot more serious in my opinion than getting a blowjob by an intern)
