“I can’t guarantee what is going to happen”

More on Aly Hindy;

Here’s a story that will make you feel warm and safe; one of Canada’s most insane Islamist fanatics, a man who was not allowed to meet with Prime Minister Paul Martin, spent his earlier life designing safety measures to protect nuclear facilities in Canada and the US.

  1. Guarding nukes costs us millions

    …”The one-time outlay to secure nuclear reactors, mines, research facilities and laboratories that handle radiological material is about $300 million, while continuing annual expenses are pegged at $60 million.”…

    …”The western world is only now waking to the nightmarish specter of China providing nuclear technology know-how to Pakistan and North Korea. China�s nuke know-how can be stamped: “Made in Canada”…
    Editorial: “Khan-du” fallout will expose Canada’s nuclear facade

    …”Canada�s relationship with Khan, and others like Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, a pioneer of Pakistan�s nuclear weapons program and a vocal admirer of the Taliban, who confessed he�d had several meetings with bin Laden before and after September 11 to discuss nuclear weapons, dates back more than three decades…
    …In addition to Mahmood, up to 50 Pakistani scientists and engineers were brought to nuclear facilities in Ontario and New Brunswick to be trained, as plans for a second, Chinese-built reactor came online….

    …”Canada was absolutely indispensable. Without (its help) neither India nor Pakistan would have gotten nuclear weapons,” says Zia Mian, a Princeton University nuclear physicist and leading proliferation expert”…

  2. The great advantage of the CANDU reactor, (apart from the fact that the Canadian taxpayers lend foreign governments the money to buy them)- is that the CANDU is refueled by new fuel rods which push the spent fuel rods out the other side.
    Extracting the Plutonium from the spent fuel is then a straight chemical process. Purchasers of these reactors have to make an agreement with the CDN government NOT to make bombs with the process, ( unless they are for ‘peacefull purposes’ of course.)

  3. The lamp has been rubbed. The ginie has escaped. Now the priority is safe long term storage of nuclear waste.
    North Korea rattles the atomic sword from time to time in order to get complaints negotiated. Detonating anything but a test would be unlikely.
    A demented and isolated Iatollah may wish to launch a nuclear device at some time, but
    that requires a team effort, and no team is going to willingly draw their own bath of nuclear poisons.
    Kruschiev gave the four Russion sub skippers permisssion to pop nukes at us during the Cuban missle crises. Fortunately for everyone, they chose not to.
    Safe storage of nuclear waste in quality sealed containers deep in mountain mine shafts is a costly priority.
    More risky, however, is the day to day high safety standard that must be held for operating plants everywhere.
    Is there a Homer Simpson type sitting at a controls console in the nuclear station near you? 73s TG

  4. Spectacular nonsense. At the risk of sounding like a close-minded bigot (which I am not), I don’t think that radical, West-hating imams should have this type of knowledge. Having said that, he learned these skills prior to his radicalization. There really isn’t a whole lot that we can do on this file other than MAYBE keeping a close watch on him, How do we get ourselves into these situations? I feel slightly uneasy about the thousands of Middle Eastern folks getting doctorates in Western learning institutions. Ya know, doctorates that would allow an enterprising jihadi to build a bio or nuke weapon. But I guess I can’t question this. Quite the quandry indeed. Nevertheless, I am sure that, Allah willing, he will abide by his non-disclosure agreements.

  5. This, I think, is a superb thesis; it’s a pity that cricket is not a mainstream Canadian game. From the Daily Telegraph, August 16, “Britain has a shared history with its immigrants – unlike America”, by Mihir Bose:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/08/16/do1601.xml
    Excerpts:
    ‘The difference is simple but profound: America can impose a coherent historical narrative on immigrants because the countries they come from had no previous involvement with America. Settlers are able and encouraged to discard their native histories and accept the American version.
    But the vast majority of non-white immigrants to Britain have come from our former colonies, and bring not only their own cultures but also their own versions of our shared history. So, in trying to construct a single coherent narrative for this island, we are faced with trying to marry two historical streams: the “home” version and the “export” version…
    ‘…The Irish sat out Britain’s gravest threat in the Second World War, and many sympathised openly with the Nazis. Yet both nations see themselves, and are seen by us, as part of the same family – the arguments are held within the walls of the same house.
    Relations with the Indian subcontinent and with her people – especially those who have come to live here – are very different. Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalis and Sri Lankans have, if anything, an even more loyal record towards Britain than Ireland and Australia, but both white Britons and immigrant communities here often do not think of themselves as part of the same family…
    The problem is that this history is largely unknown to the majority white community. As the great Trinidadian writer C L R James put it, what do the people of Britain know of what was done in their name in far-flung places? And, sadly, the history is increasingly unknown to immigrants and their descendants, too.’
    I believe much of this would also apply to many immigrants to Canada–if only we had not erased, the Governor General aside, most of our British heritage. And if only we had not failed to create an independent narrative of our own–as the Australians have succeeded in doing.
