Hmm.. N. Korea may be further ahead than many thought. Don't need years and years of research when you have a blueprint itself. The size of data, 1000 GB, suggests that they are quite detailed.

Is it really possible that NK's nuclear test in Oct. 2006 set off a miniature nuclear device?

It has a rather disturbing implication.

Think of the implications for Obama. His minister Rev. Wright, and Farrakhan, and some of Jesse Jacksons’ people, went to Libya in the 80’s to support its dictator Muammar Khaddafi. Obamie friends, all.

Looks like Khaddafi was lying all along about having peaceful intentions in the Middle East.

That makes Wright and company look like fools at the least, and cheerleaders for Khaddafi at the most, or even more.

That is the kind of guy Obama followed for years. We should be worried, big time.

Iran and North Korea with detailed plans for nuclear warheads? Why am I not surprised? Leftists are trying to kill us all while simultaneously demeaning and baiting those that care about American security. Just amazing.

The computer contents -- among more than 1,000 gigabytes of data seized -- were recently destroyed by Swiss authorities under the supervision of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, which is investigating the now-defunct smuggling ring previously led by Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan.

The design could easily be still sitting on rented space in an encrypted file on a server somewhere in cyberspace.

Couldn’t be the W-99 plans Clinton gave the CHinese, could it?

They are. I made the point before that it is possible that Pakistan tested a nuclear device for North Korea in 1998. If NK has this knowledge, the Iranians are sure to have it.

There is a big difference between having the blueprint for the physics package and having a physics package you can expect to work. Since would especially be true in a technology transfer situation where one party has only tested once or twice and the receiving party is building their first device.

All this implies a high degree of unreliability for the first use of any device built by those receiving the blueprints. An unsuccessful triggering will result in a “dirty bomb” that contaminates a relatively small area with the particulate residue of the physics package.

One can speculate that terrorists would detonate a real dirty bomb, that is a conventional explosive device that was intended to spread radioactive material. In such a device the conventional explosive will be a big as they can manage.

If we observe a “dirty bomb” but the explosion is curiously small, we may have really observed a failed attempt to trigger a nuclear device.

"An international smuggling ring that sold bomb-related parts to Libya, Iran and North Korea..."

Why do I have the feeling that A.Q. Khan's black market for nuclear weapons technology also included Iraq but for some odd reason it isn't mentioned?

This is pure speculation on my part, but I sense that Saddam would have been in on this action. Saddam certainly had the cash via the oil-for-food scam.

We’re scared of this but not as scared as we are of beans.

It has a rather disturbing implication.

If might be a serious and disturbing implication under the EVIL maniacal Bush, I mean, McCain administration, but under an Obama administration, the messiah, lightworker, specially attuned being that he is, Obama will work his magic on NK, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hezzbollah and all will be right in the world, right as rain.

Fear not, Obama will save the world.
