Preventing Knowledge?

Here's a question, Bush is quoted as saying "if you're interested in World War III, then it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing [Iran] from having the knowledge necessary to make nuclear weapon." So is he suggesting the U.S. kidnap the scientific intelligentsia of Iran? Or perhaps shutting down the publishing industry.

I think the notion that you can keep knowledge like that from moving is pretty flawed. I mean, we're talking about a 50-year-old technology that's pretty well documented. This isn't to say the powers that be won't try to do such a thing.
