| In short: CIA told to back off investigations into A.Q. Khan, head of Pakistan’s bomb-building program, who was selling nuclear secrets to Libya and North Korea. Why? Because it was becoming aparent that A.Q. Khan's nuke funding was coming from the Saudis. And why would that matter? Because as everyone should know, the Saudis are good buddies with the Bush family and have given them millions of dollars and helped fund Bush jr's 2000 election victory, and loyalties more important than anything, and in Bush jnr's case, more important than American and international security. Good old boy that he is.

North Korea’s Missile: Fired by Kim Jong Il, Built by Team Bush
By Greg Palast
07/05/06 "Information Clearing House" -- -- George Bush is upset, distraught, that North Korea has fired a missile that could reach Alaska — carrying a nuclear warhead. Well, Mr. President, you have only yourself to blame.
In case you can’t recall, your intelligence chiefs ordered US agents to curb their investigation of A.Q. Khan, head of Pakistan’s bomb-building program. There was mounting evidence Khan was selling his nuclear and missile material technology to Libya and North Korea.
The reason for the spike order, the “back off” directive, was that the investigators had tracked the source of funds for Mr. Khans flea market in fissile material to Saudi Arabia. Apparently, Team Bush did not want to make the Saudi’s uncomfortable by exposing their payments to Khan.
We reported this on BBC in November 2001, based on informants within the top levels of our intelligence agencies, men unhappy with politicians who would have them avert their gaze.
