North Korea A Bigger Threat Than Iraq - Former Ambassador 19 Dec 07:23 NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Although the U.S. is focused on the nuclear threat from Iraq, Thomas Graham Jr., a former ambassador and current president of the Lawyers Alliance for World Security, believes North Korea is more dangerous. In an interview with CNBC Thursday, Graham, who was a special representative to the president for arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament from 1994 to 1997, said North Korea "is a considerably bigger threat." North Korea is further along in developing nuclear weapons and has a history of selling arms to "unsavory parties," Graham said. As for Iraq, Graham said all indications from the White House show that Iraq may have fallen short again in its weapons declaration. Graham doesn't believe Iraq is a direct threat to the U.S. in the short term, but he does believe the country needs to remove its weapons of mass destruction. Graham said he has the highest confidence in the United Nations weapons inspection team. -Roger Cheng, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5393; roger.cheng@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires 12-19-02 0723ET
