Being a biographer may have given him mind reading skills. He seems to be knowing precisely why US undertook this deal and what Pakistan and China thinks of it.
He may be on firmer on one matter. the additional protocols he refers to are probably implementation specific. If they are not, it is worth a wait before judging the nature of the deal.
We need to see the deal as an Apex agreement which permits dual-use technologies. For instance we do not manufacture IC chips yet, while China the so called strategic contender for US, has been provided with over a dozen such plants.
There is no reason for India to continue in this technology denial mode.
It is the Denial of the Con-gress Govts which did not give Proper Funding to Indian Research. Also, Abt the Licenses in Establishing proper Educational and Research Institutes.
Indians are Capable of Developing technologies themselves. But Merit is being Put to Unnecessary pressures. SO All Indian Intellectuals after a Tough Unnecessary fight for just securing an Admission in a good Institute Are getting more interested in Money and either Running away from india or Going into Management.
There is the Real Denial. And It is by the Con-Gress And its Splinter Groups.

TheOneAndOnly thinks technology is the only problem. Where will the fuel come from??
Besides, as any engineer/scientist will vouch, While technology can be developed for almost anything that's possible to do, it is the time taken for it that makes the difference.
