OT: Looks like N. Korea is still developing long range missiles capable of hitting targets in the US. washtimes.com a couple excerpts: North Korea has not stopped developing a long-range missile capable of hitting the United States and is stepping up sales of missiles and related technology around the world, according to U.S. intelligence reports. "They are still improving the TD-2 and proceeding with development," one official said. "In fact, their level of confidence in the TD-2 may be high enough to have it available [for use] without any flight test." The Air Force report is one of several fresh intelligence reports circulated to senior Clinton administration policy-makers in recent weeks indicating that the new conciliatory approach to the isolated communist state is not working. President Clinton lifted some economic sanctions against North Korea last month. In exchange, Pyongyang announced it would hold up plans to flight-test the Taepo Dong-2. "For the first time in our history, we are within missile range of an arguably irrational rogue regime," Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman, New York Republican and chairman of the House International Relations Committee, said during a hearing yesterday. "Regrettably, we cannot defend against that threat." In addition to continued long-range missile development, U.S. intelligence agencies uncovered information about North Korea's sales of missile and related goods to rogue states. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Not very good news...
