"Atomic Anne" fingers Sarkozy "folly" in pitching nukes to Libya

French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, was actively trying to sell nuclear power to Gaddafi's Libya until the summer of 2010, according to the ex CEO of Areva, Anne Lauvergeon. In fact, the Washington Post identified Sarkozy as the "most aggressive salesman" for nuclear power in the world. Lauvergeon said in an interview with L'Express that she "vigorously" opposed efforts to sell nukes to Libya calling it "folly."
