My Comment: Not a comforting thought .... but not surprising. The Pakistani military and intelligence services do not trust anyone, with the Indian military being on top of the list. If I was the man responsible for protecting Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, I would make sure that all of my nuclear weapons would never be vulnerable to a surprise attack. That would mean constantly moving them around .... having many soldiers protecting them .... and always being prepared for the worse.

In such an atmosphere .... even if the CIA had men directly in the chain of command, it would be impossible for them to know where every nuke was hidden. Leon Panetta is being honest.
