CBS' David Martin filed from the Pentagon on the spooks' murky assessment of the security of Pakistan's arsenal of nuclear weapons. "Pakistan guards its doomsday secrets as jealously as the United States guards its own," Martin shrugged. Juan Zarate, a onetime Bush Administration official who worked with the Pakistani nuclear program at its Khushab base, is now a CBS News Consultant: "The United States is not sure exactly how many weapons the Pakistanis have or where they all are." Martin also talked to a former spy "who knows as much about Pakistan's nuclear complex as any American." Rolf Mowatt-Larssen told him that Pakistan's Achilles' heel is not the risk that its government might fall to Taliban guerrillas but that Taliban sympathizers may already be working on the nuclear weapons program and may be ready to spill its secrets.
