I have a MS in astrophysics, and I disagree with this article's statement that a scientist should be seeking out the WMDs. I believe a political scientist would be more appropriate to search for nuclear weapons than a nuclear physicist. The engineers who would make a nuclear weapon can put any exterior on it that they would like--it's not like you can buy them off the shelf at WalMart. A physicist wouldn't have a clue where to start looking, and wouldn't know they'd found it when they did. However someone knowledgable about politics and psychology would know where to start looking, whom to ask about it, and whether they were telling the truth.
