It is unheard of," she added."<br>~snip~<br> In 1983 he was sentenced in absentia, by judge Leeser, to four years in prison for stealing nuclear secrets about uranium enrichment. On appeal the verdict was quashed because of procedural errors and the Dutch government did not pursue the matter any further.<br><br>A month ago former Dutch prime minister Ruud Lubbers said Khan was let go at the request of US intelligence services.<br><br>Leeser said that when she heard Lubbers, the disappearance of Khan's files at the Amsterdam court's archive fell into place for her."<br><br>This has been brewing in the dutch media for about a month ever since Leeser,the retiring vice-president of the court for the district Amsterdam went on dutch tv to make this unprecendented statement.<br><br>Just to spell out how sensational this is,the ex prime minister of the netherlands and the vice president of the court that convicted A.Q. Khan confirm on tv that the dutch judicial system can be subverted by the intelligence agency of a foreign government without consequence.<br><br>this fits in with my contention that much of Europe has been US occupied territory since the end of WWII.<br>it also looks like the dutch were used (willingly) to transfer nuclear tech. to pakistan with plausible deniability for the USA. <p></p><i></i>
