Sure, I suppose it's possible that THIS time, after 2,186 bald-faced lies and broken promises, the Norks are telling the truth and keeping their word.
But I sure doubt it.

WASHINGTON - A preliminary review of thousands of nuclear documents turned over to the United States by North Korea shows they appear to be a complete accounting of their plutonium production, U.S. officials said Tuesday. While translation and analysis of the 18,822 Korean-language documents is still under way, officials said an early look indicates they include full details of North Korea's plutonium program dating back to 1986. The officials cautioned, however, that a full assessment is not done and experts are still poring through the files. "It appears to be a complete set," said Sung Kim, the U.S. diplomat who traveled to North Korea to pick up the documents in seven large boxes and returned to Washington on Monday. He said a full review by an interagency team from the departments of State, Energy and intelligence organizations would take several weeks. The documents include daily operational logs, production notes and receipts, he told reporters. "These documents are an important first step," Kim said. 'Looks pretty good'

I don’t know. With the very long well established history of N. Korean shenanigans, I call shenanigans.

I believe the chances of getting kosher play from NK is far better in 2007-8 with Pres.Bush and crew than it was with Clintoon-Carter in 1993-4. Pres.Bush at least has some semblance of “... but verify” incorporated in his methods of diplomacy.
Alrighty then! /s
N. Korea... and Iran for that matter... want a nuke so badly, then we should demonstrate good ole fashioned American generosity, save them the development expense, and give them a few nukes. We already have a few ready for air-shipment.
Oh, whew...nuclear FILES...at first read, headline looked like “nuclear fires”.
Wait a minute, this is Mr. I’m So Ronery’s country, so it still could mean ‘fires’!!!
I have dumb question.
How can they be sure the documents are complete when they have not finished reviewing them yet?
