Fuzzy Logic

An interesting story today comes from the AP (and, by association, CNN’s Website) telling the tale of a court in Pakistan that has issued a gag order on one of their Nuclear Scientists/Engineers/Physicists, Abdul Qadeer Khan, because he has been telling the media about how Pakistan helped North Korea develop nuclear bombs.

A court on Monday barred the disgraced architect of Pakistan’s atomic weapons program from speaking about nuclear proliferation, less than three weeks after he implicated the army in the sharing of nuclear technology with North Korea.

That’s right–the Pakistani court has the ability to refrain a person from talking completely about a subject because they don’t want to have to admit what happened.  Great.
