N. Korea talks left out details

By Bill Gertz - North Korea's recent discussions with the United States about a required declaration under the six-nation nuclear talks omitted key data on Pyongyang's current nuclear arsenal and its covert uranium enrichment program, U.S. officials say.

The failure to provide the information in a formal declaration, combined with North Korea's Jan. 4 public statement asserting it already made the declaration, left the four years of talks frozen amid newly disclosed intelligence showing North Korea at one time had equipment with traces of 90 percent enriched uranium, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

One official said North Korea some time ago provided the U.S. government with a sample of a specialty metal supposedly melted down from tubes the North Koreans claim were meant for non-nuclear purposes.

This is to be expected. Giving N. Korea benefit of doubt consistently failed to help solve the problem. Those who still insist on it are consistently stupid, and should be fired from important decision-making positions. They are welcomed to play a piano at D.C.'s upscale restaurant or panhandle at the Lafayette Park.
