In another Clinton foreign policy failure: North Korea Admits Existence Of Nuclear-Weapons Program By DAVID S. CLOUD and JAY SOLOMON Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL North Korea acknowledged that it has a secret nuclear-weapons program, U.S. officials said, raising the possibility of an Asian nuclear crisis as the Bush administration contemplates military action in Iraq.

In meetings in Pyongyang from Oct. 3-4, Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly presented evidence pointing to the existence of the secret program, which North Korea initially disputed but then acknowledged, the officials said. . . .
