The most dangerous man in the world? (not Osama) (MSNBC)
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6827441/

He's been called by some, the most dangerous man in the world. And he's not Osama Bin Laden. You may not even know his name but, according to those who do know him, he helped spread nuclear bomb-making technology to some of America's most determined enemies. The question is, just how much damage has he done?

In the summer of 1999, a group of illegal weapons dealers were meeting at a warehouse in Florida, their conversations recorded by federal investigators. One of the men, from Pakistan, was seeking technology for nuclear weapons. Who did he say he was working for?

Dick Stoltz: “Dr. Abdul Khan.”

Chris Hansen: “A.Q. Khan.”

Dick Stoltz: “A.Q. Khan.”

Former federal undercover agent Dick Stoltz was posing as a black market arms dealer.

Hansen: “Did you realize what you had at the time?”

Stoltz: “No. We didn't.”

But now he does -- because A.Q. Khan is considered, by some, to be the most dangerous man in the world. Why? Because Dr. Khan has peddled nuclear weapons technology to some of the countries the United States considers most dangerous, and some accepted his offers.

Hansen: “We're talking about Iran?”

David Albright: “Iran accepted.”

Hansen: “North Korea?”

Albright: “Accepted.”

2. One could make a good case for naming Dr. Khan most dangerous
However, I have another candidate for that dubious honor.

And, no, it isn't Osama bin Laden, either.

13. Bush popped into my mind.
He's dangerous because he's a puppet for those who, for their own wildly strange self-benefit, are willing to sacrifice so many others.

14. Most dangerous chimp - Bush
Most dangerous alien reptile - Cheney.
Most dangerous loon - Rumsfeld.
Most dangerous parrot - Condi.
Most dangerous poodle - Blair.

Most dangerous man is still up for grabs.

23. David Albright's a hard one to read....
Sometimes he makes very good sense, occasionally not so much.

Here's an intersting look at what Albright has said before on North Korea:
