The establishment is surprisingly adept at obfuscating the facts whenever the need arises.
Either that or we send MORONS to negotiate international agreements. Has there EVER been any doubt in any one's mind that the Hyde Act overrides any and all agreements the U.S. Executive branch might enter into.
Either the Indian government believes its own propaganda or holds the entire nation in contempt. Why don't we get the message when official American spokesmen repeatedly point out that NO, India can not hold a nuclear test without having to face action under the RETURN clauses.
Which, apart from leaving us decades behind where we are today, will cripple all economic activity that we will build around atomic power generated by plants set up under this once-in-a-lifetime deal. Investments around power facilities typically involve ten to twelve times the capital costs of generating power itself.
Once and for all, is there ANY linguistic trick which will hide the fact that this deal effectively over-rides Indian sovereignty in nuclear testing?
Where do we go from here? We say to the U.S. - Thank you very much. Please keep your technology, equipment and fuel.
This post also, I hope, completes my outpourings on this subject!
ps: This turned out to be wishful thinking, so:

Unclear Nuclear
