Following up on Josh’s post from the other day, I give you the two relevant statements from Pakistan’ Foreign Ministry. The one from 6 February called AQK a “free man.”

Perhaps responding to some of the, um, somewhat negative reactions to that announcement, the Ministry said the next day that Islamabad

has dismantled the nuclear black market network and no individual associated with it enjoys any official status nor has access to any strategic facility.

I know how much you all like primary sources…
