WASHINGTON (AFP)--U.S. President George W. Bush has green-lighted a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Turkey, saying that private-sector proliferation worries have been addressed, the White House said Wednesday.

Bush on Tuesday sent the U.S. Congress a July 2000 agreement, signed by then- President Bill Clinton, that would clear the way for transfers of nuclear technology to Turkey's planned civilian atomic sector, it said.

"In my judgment, entry into force of the agreement will serve as a strong incentive for Turkey to continue its support for nonproliferation objectives and enact future sound nonproliferation policies and practices," Bush said in a letter to lawmakers dated Tuesday.

"It will also promote closer political and economic ties with a NATO ally, and provide the necessary legal framework for U.S. industry to make nuclear exports to Turkey's planned civil nuclear sector," it said.

Lawmakers could pass legislation blocking the accord.

5. She named names.

"It does not permit transfers of sensitive nuclear technology, restricted
data, or sensitive nuclear facilities or major critical components of such facilities," the official said.

Her allegations are not insignificant. Edmonds claims that Marc Grossman—ambassador
to Turkey from 1994-97 and undersecretary of state for political affairs from 2001-05—was
a person of interest to the FBI and had his phone tapped by the Bureau in 2001 and 2002.

It was not Bhutto who misspoke but Musharraf, whose comments may have
already backfired. Indeed, Bhutto was murdered --not by terrorists as
Musharraf would have you believe. She was murdered, gunned down, in fact,
because she was the woman who knew too much and dared to reveal that
Osama bin Laden had been murdered. She did not misspeak! She named names.
She exposed the fraudulent nature of the Bush/Blair "war on terrorism".
She stated --flat out --US policies cause world terrorism!

6. Iran would be insane not to want to continue its nuclear program.

The US proliferation of arm and nukes around the world is shamful.
