In that business, the military makes a lot of promises. One rigid rule however is that the acft or ship NEVER fall into enemy hands.

"It's a bad sign that the Western intelligence experts who monitor North Korean ports and examine satellite images didn't notice that the Pueblo had moved. President Bush's "refusal to engage North Korea, as the Clinton administration had done, has already led the North to revive plutonium production. Mr. Bush's backup plan is to stop North Korean nuclear proliferation by intercepting nuclear materials as they leave the country - but that's wishful thinking. If we couldn't detect the transfer of a famous 176-foot ship, it's ludicrous to think we could stop the smuggling of a grapefruit-size chunk of plutonium."

Thanks for the link and pictures. Kristoff gives the impression the ship sailed to Pyongyang under while Bush was in power. It sailed in 1999 while clinton was in office.
