Reply #4: There are numerous potential explanations... and yours makes

sense to me - but with most stories like this I take a wait and see attitude... as well as a "what past stories might this link up with" (my brain retains key snippets of political stories for years)... so be this nuclear or not... it certainly raises the question of the bush admin behavior towards NK and hard intel that NK was starting to move towards nukes again - (the bushies suppressed the info... as it was learned during their hard political thrust to get the IWR passed.) Which in turn is part of a bigger picture that we should all be talking more about... that this administration has on multiple occaisions... taken actions (or inaction) that are politically expedient for them but might (or do) risk national security. That composite image sorta counters the one they are running on, doesn't it...
