Nuclear Workers under threat in Pakistan

The New York Times: Reports that workers working on Pakistan's nuclear programme have been attacked in Rawalpindi. The USA should offer to provide security for the workers and nuclear plants of Pakistan, what if the Taliban can turn a nuclear worker through ideology or fear, either to him/her or their family. Thus the Obama Administration should demand that US Special Forces be attached to all nuclear plants, all transport of workers should be under joint US and Pakistan security. Think if Obama gets that call at 3am that a nuclear plant or missile is under the control of the Taliban. Thus in pure money terms its worth the outlay now to prevent a disaster down the line.
