washingtonpost.com: N. Korea Admits Having Secret Nuclear Arms

Oh, boy. I'd like to see some proof they actually have working nukes -- though not at close range, mind you. (I'm not clear on if they say they have the bomb, or if they're just admitting to working on it. They really shouldn't have a big problem with it given their "civilian" nuclear capabilities.) But this is terrifying, in many ways more terrifying than if Iran or Iraq got the bomb. This is a failed state, a country on the verge of collapse and whose people are starving. Kim might feel he has nothing to lose by using his bomb to hold up his neighbors.
