What the Administration knew about Pakistan and the North Korean nuclear program. An excellent article by Seymour Hersh on how the current situation came to be.

Superman really needs to hurry up and throw those nuclear weapons into the sun, but then again, this may inavertantly create an evil villian henchman borne from Superman's hair. Oh what are we going to do?!

That joke is hilarious to the three people who saw Superman IV, the quest for peace.

not so funny is the last line of this excellent article:

"One American intelligence official who has attended recent White House meetings cautioned against relying on the day-to-day Administration statements that emphasize a quick settlement of the dispute. The public talk of compromise is being matched by much private talk of high-level vindication. "Bush and Cheney want that guy's head"—Kim Jong Il's—"on a platter. Don't be distracted by all this talk about negotiations. There will be negotiations, but they have a plan, and they are going to get this guy after Iraq. He's their version of Hitler.""
