Now comes the tale of North Korea's nuclear activities. Back in 2002 our government, based on 'intelligence', concluded that North Korea was working on building a bomb using enriched uranium (the bomb they detonated in October was plutonium). Therefore, we stopped shipping oil there and North Korea responded by throwing out the weapons inspectors and, apparently, working on a plutonium bomb.
On Tuesday it was said by an intelligence official that the information garnered by the CIA could be interpreted in differing ways. Yet, we acted as though there was only one interpretation and went down the hardass road. Kind of how we acted with regard to the 'intelligence' on Iraq. Maybe this was another reason for Tenet being awarded the Medal of Freedom.

For some the "hardass road" is the only one they know.
