This searing, timely, and provocative report is a triumph of investigative journalism and a masterful laying out of one of the worlds most critical problems. Muslim scientists in top positions in the middle east have masterminded and stole nuclear designs and sold them to Pakistan who now has a nuclear reactor, North Korea other countries who are hostile to Western interests.

What happens when these poor countries need or want food or money? Nothing will stop them from threatening the richer countries with nuclear weapons. The poorer countries have nothing to lose.

How do we solve this problem?
Great gift.
