North Korean Mystery
[Washington Post] Jim Hoagland - Why is President Bush accepting the promises of a regime he has regularly excoriated - at a time when officials in his administration make a credible case that North Korea has just been caught helping Syria with nuclear technology? Highly classified U.S. intelligence reports say that the Israeli raid in Syria last month destroyed a nuclear-related facility and caused North Korean casualties at the site, which may have been intended to produce plutonium, according to a senior official with access to those reports. The Israelis have provided the U.S. with photographs, physical material and soil samples from the site - taken both before and after the raid - according to two independent sources.
