wow...thats gonna hit him hard for the elections !!!

but really don't know if this is true ??

Anne Lauvergeon, a former top aide to Socialist President Francois Mitterrand ousted as head of French nuclear group Areva last year, accused Sarkozy of having tried to sell an atomic reactor to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi until mid-2010.

Government spokeswoman Valerie Pecresse, a member of Sarkozy's conservative UMP party, responded by accusing Lauvergeon of trying to "settle scores". She described the former CEO's account of dealings with Libya as fictitious.

"She should have resigned if she had been against it. She did not do so, so that is all fiction," Pecresse said, without explicitly denying that Sarkozy had tried to sell a reactor to Libya for a water desalination plant.

Duh! Libya actually agreed to peacefully dismantle their nuclear program, before Gaddafi fell (like several years earlier). The US, France and Russia have always offered nuclear energy to non-proliferation treaty signatories - that's part of the deal with the international inspections and everything. In fact, the only reason Iran has nuclear energy is because they signed a non-proliferation treaty, and Russia I believe built their reactors and supplied fuel. So offering to build a reactor for Libya would have been a very normal aspect of peaceful use of atomic energy, at least in terms of the existence of the IAEA.
