And that’s one of the things that has to give you pause, is that they have been thinking about this a long time, … And so the question is, when did they start in earnest...

That ‘°s historically been its position and that ‘°s one of the big unknowns, whether it will change its mind before the actual vote, but I don ‘°t see Russia going into this Board of...

With this deal, India has sent a signal that it can expand its nuclear arsenal as it wants, and that’s bad news for China and Pakistan. This creates suspicion, which is what you don’t want.

The problem isn’t that the INC was dishonest, per se. What it is, is that they were willing to believe anything bad about Saddam Hussein that could help their cause of regime change,

I mean, if you think of Iraq, and the (Indian) company NEC, we know they were providing missile technology to Iraq in violation of the sanctions, and NEC is associated with the Indian military. It’s...

It’s going up in front of our eyes.

Even a terrorist group that’s going to go to the trouble of working on a nuclear weapon wants to have some certainty that it’s going to explode as a nuclear explosive and not just explode...

This bombastic announcement is open defiance of what the international community is asking from Iran.

And I think the Pentagon, particularly the hard-liners, suspended their analytical judgment in order to adopt some of these points of view and information.

We’ve been struggling to try to understand India’s gas centrifuge program and one of the surprises there was that it’s a program that really does depend on foreign procurement.

It’s not a smoking gun, but it’s the best evidence that Iran has a secret nuclear weapons program.

What we did see is that when we compared this information on the high explosives, to the Internet, that these are much more polished, … That they really did work with these formulas, tested these...

North Korea has a strong feeling to defend itself.

There is no plea bargain policy. I think there were people here in the bureaucracy that didn’t want to make a deal. He was trapped.

it’s not at all like kind of the level of Pakistan by any means, but it’s a concern that they are going around buying things illegally and the government can kind of say, ‘Well, we...

The key question is whether Iran is going to back down or harden its position.

They are not going to steal explosives from a military base, … They are going out and then going to a grocery store, a pharmacy, a medical supply store, and buying chemicals and then making...

This new tunnel entrance is indicative of a new underground facility or the further expansion of the existing one.

You worry that somehow this can become part of a chemical weapons program.

when you go to a company in Germany you are going to tell them it is for the centrifuge program, which India knows as soon as they say that, unless the company is asleep, it’s...

If you’re not following up with regime change or diplomatic force to cause a change in Iran’s behavior, you’ve probably just guaranteed they’re going to get nuclear weapons faster.

understood that Iraq probably hid centrifuge documents, may have had components, and so it is very important that those items be found.

It’s not just a bunch of guys climbing along some jungle gym and going through tunnels and shooting their guns in the air, … These are people who are thinking through problems in how to...

The evidence points to the need for a very tough discussion with Iraq, where they have to produce evidence that this chlorine was truly for civilian purposes, and I think they are going to have...

There may be less (to the deal) than meets the eye.

I don’t see that they need anything more except knowledge and experience, and they’ll get that by running the [enrichment] cascade.

suspicions increase that Iraq was going to try to use it in a nuclear weapons program.

That somehow they can’t shut up — that they’re dangerous, … That somehow you get them in a room and they are just going to start spouting classified information to somebody who is an enemy...

can’t be achieved without verified assurances that North Korea is free of nuclear weapons.

I think what happened unfortunately is there is no policy in the U.S. government to allow these scientists to come to the U.S.. … There is no plea-bargain policy.

I don’t think any of the available intelligence represents a smoking gun.

In the 1980s, the Indians were getting a lot of equipment for the gas centrifuge program from the same companies that were providing the same equipment to the Pakistanis. And some of the same people...

The program appears to have existed a long time and that is one of the things that has to give you pause is that they have been thinking about this for a long time.

The IAEA … won’t know where these thousands of centrifuge components are. If you move them out from where inspectors can go, you can much more easily build a centrifuge plant in secret.

In terms of the chemical and biological weapons, Iraq has those now. How many, how could they deliver them? I mean, these are the big questions.

sticking his tongue out at the world in essence.

You could go buy some centrifuge design information through the Indian procurement system. It’s a very irresponsible way to handle sensitive information.

Iran is taking extraordinary precautions to try to protect its nuclear assets.

It’s a very dangerous game that Iraq plays if it chooses not to comply. The methods are very powerful that can be deployed by inspectors, particularly if they’re backed up by information from intelligence agencies.

It would make sense if Iran got this. This is how the Khan network worked. They had stockpiles of these things in Dubai.

The trouble is that when they say they’ll give it serious study, it doesn’t mean they’ll accept it.

Russia is looking after its economic interests. They have a lot at stake, … China is so ideologically opposed that the most you can get out of them is an abstention.

Iran is taking a pretty deliberate position not to cooperate with the IAEA. It’s not a surprise, but it’s sad, because it seems it will inevitably lead to a confrontation.

I don’t see this as an indictment of Germany at all. I think the reason you’re seeing these cases is that Germany is so determined to get these people.

That’s not easy. The United States and Britain don’t know where to find these people. There’s no telephone book in Baghdad.

This video clearly gives the impression that Iran sees its nuclear program as a national treasure, that it’s going to be very resistant to give up. It’s not. It’s a little bit like asking Britain...

Full economic sanctions almost work too well. They kill a lot of civilians, and nobody wants that.

Our first concern is the risk of nuclear terrorism, … We worry about what could happen in Russia, Pakistan, India and China.

It’s a little like a sophisticated engine in a race car. If you develop it, you don’t go out and race the next day. You have to test it. They have to do a bunch...

The scientists have to worry about their future, and they may opt to leave Iraq looking for a better future … there may be some scientists who have a deep grudge against the United States....
