THE BUSH DOCTRINE JUST KEEPS PAYING DIVIDENDS:

U.S. Group Visits North Korea Nuclear Complex (AP, 1/10/03)

North Korea said Saturday that it showed its ``nuclear deterrent'' to an unofficial U.S. delegation that visited the disputed Yongbyon nuclear complex, which had been closed to outsiders since the North expelled U.N. inspectors more than a year ago.

A member of the delegation, which included experts and former government officials, said the five Americans were allowed to see everything they requested but it was not clear if the ``nuclear deterrent'' was a bomb. Delegates said they could give no further details until they reported to Washington.

If nothing else, the precise GPS readings will be handy in December.
