Bush's Failed Nuclear Non-proliferation Policy
Seen in Pakistan Crisis


RealAudio

Interview with peace and disarmament correspondent
Jonathan Schell with The Nation magazine, and
author of "The Seventh Decade,"
conducted by Scott Harris


pakinukes

The president of Pakistan, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, under growing pressure at home and abroad to end emergency rule that he imposed on Nov. 3, has released thousands of opposition party members, human rights advocates and lawyers from detention -- and set Jan. 8. as a date for parliamentary elections. However, opposition parties have stated that unless emergency rule is lifted, the election will lack credibility and they are considering a boycott of the ballot.

Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup, justified his November imposition of emergency rule and firing of the Supreme Court by citing a recent wave of violent attacks by Islamic militants sympathetic to the Taliban and Al Qaeda. But his violent crackdown has been focused on civil society and his secular political opponents.
International observers of Pakistan's political crisis have expressed growing concern over the nuclear-armed nation's instability -- and the prospect that Islamic insurgent groups or their allies could in the future seize control of atomic weapons or nuclear material.
Between the Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Jonathan Schell, peace and disarmament correspondent with the Nation magazine and author of "The Seventh Decade: The New Shape of Nuclear Danger." Schell examines the dangerous situation in Pakistan and how it illustrates the failure of the Bush administration's post 9/11 nuclear non-proliferation policy.

"The Seventh Decade, The New Shape of Nuclear Danger" is published by Metropolitan Books. Read Schell's Nation Magazine column online at www.thenation.com
