JUST NOT SERIOUS In case you've forgotten, here are President Bush and National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice a couple weeks back, announcing the administration's new doctrine of Either You're With Us or Against Us or If You're Nationally Humiliated That's Okay Too:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)These people aren't serious.
GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES [from the debate]: The A.Q. Khan network has been brought to justice.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BLITZER: To justice? The guy has been -- Khan has been freed. He's been pardoned by President Musharraf... Khan himself lives in a villa. And the IAEA would like to question him, and the Pakistani government doesn't even allow that to happen.
RICE: I think we all know that A.Q. Khan was a particular kind of figure in Pakistani lore, a national hero... if you don't think that his national humiliation is justice for what he did, I think it is. He's nationally humiliated.
