Dubai and nuclear triggers

* Duncan Hunter, appearing on CNN's Situation Room, shared further concerns about Dubai's shady security history (link):
* in 2003 Dubai allowed a shipment of 66 triggers suited for nuclear devices
* Dubai was involved in shipments of heavy water from Russia and China
* Dubai was involved in sending precursors to nerve gas to Iran - a deal that was stopped once discovered

(hat-tip LA)

Sibel has previously pointed me to Dubai as a center for trafficking in nuclear devices - see here and here - and this one, unrelated to dubai, but includes some american companies. this is why i don't care about the port-gate issue (apart from the damage that it is doing to Blinky, and that it might shed light on who owns him) - these networks are already in place - they don't need to manage the ports.
