re: It added, they said, that all the government’s intelligence agencies “judge — most with moderate confidence — that this effort continues. The degree of progress towards producing enriched uranium remains unknown, however.” In other words, while the agencies were certain of the initial purchases, confidence in the program’s overall existence appears to have dropped over the years — apparently from high to moderate. Nice to know they are making major policy decisions based on confidence.

CJ, cute NYT push piece. So because the CIA "couldn't be sure," that means North Korea didn't really have a nuclear weapons program until that mean ole nasty Bush forced them to adopt one? The only time the CIA is 100% sure about anything is when they see it happen on CNN, just like everyone else. Meanwhile, it was North Korea's decision alone to pursue nukes. They held the spectre of nukes over the Clinton administration and got the now defunct agreement to get two light water reactors. Then they pursue it again after the Bush administration confronts them over the issue. They chose to try and destabilize the geopolitical situation in the Far East just so they can get more freebies to support their failed Marxist state. Whether our CIA is competent or not is beside the point. North Korea has trained the free world just as well as a disobedient dog trains his weak-willed master. Tenchusatsu
