Whose finger on Pakistan's nuclear trigger?

Whose finger on Pakistan's nuclear trigger?

If it ever comes to Pakistan launching an atomic warhead, the final say would be with the all-powerful army leader, even though in theory the prime minister's finger should be on the trigger. All indications are that the White House, despairing at the fragile government in Islamabad and reassured that security is state-of-the-art enough to prevent jihadi sympathizers from hitting the button, appears to like it that way. - Amir Mir (Nov 16, '11)
