Though not exactly the type we want many to follow - Saddam cited Indian, Pak tests to justify WMD pursuit - The Times of India

WASHINGTON: Deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussain used Indian and Pakistani nuclear tests to justify his pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, the chief US weapons inspector, Charles Duelfer, told a US Senate committee on Wednesday.

''Saddam observed that India and Pakistan had slipped across the nuclear weapons boundary quite successfully,'' Duelfer told a Senate panel following the submission of his report.
