    Senator John Kerry's gaffe in outing an undercover CIA analyst at this week's confirmation hearing for John Bolton has been widely noted.

Among its biological agents are cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, typhus, typhoid fever and dysentery. Despite the alarming assessment, Kim Tae Young also said that his country’s armed forces had the capacity pre-emptively to destroy...
