North Korea failed in its highly vaunted effort to fire a satellite into orbit, military and private experts said Sunday

Since it wasn't a satelite launch, it could not be ruled a failure. They were launching a long range missile. That's what needs to be evaluated. "If I announce a launch of a satelite, and launch a missile, what will other countries do".

How far away from the launch site did the missile come down?

military and private experts said Sunday after reviewing detailed tracking data that showed the missile and payload fell into the sea.

And...

What?

Is this information so critical that it must be kept secret?
I'm sure any such tracking could have been distributed immediately showing the test flight from liftoff to splashdown.

It hasn't happened because...?

the missile and payload fell into the sea

Is said payload recoverable, so we could at least see what they were trying to launch?

How dumb or deceptive does a person have to be to say this was an attempted satellite launch?
