Sy Hearch on Pakistan's nukes

A new article in the New Yorker from Sy Hersh has been a bit of an event in and of itself for some years now, so check out his latest piece: "Are nuclear weapons safe in Pakistan?" This is something I've thought about a bit, and I'm almost convinced that the US' game plan in the event that the Pakistani state were toppled is simply to take the nukes... this wouldn't be the first time: the Russian government simply took control of the Soviet nuclear weapons in Kazakhstan after the USSR dissolved, and then allowed the fiction of "negotiations" over the state of those weapons play out afterward.
