Newsweek Investigation Looks at How North Korea Went Nuclear, Why Diplomacy Failed to Stop it and What Options Remain.
Includes: Terrible Human Costs on North Korea's Scientists...Pakistan's Role...Evidence That Bush Administration May Have Tried to Manipulate intelligence ...Why China Might Intervene.
Last week's nuclear test made North Korea the first new declared nuclear power in eight years, and undoubtedly the most unstable of the eight in the world today. The trail of events that led to this perilous moment had a great deal to do with years of misplaced pride and prejudice between Pyongyang and Washington, of deep misunderstanding and disastrous missed chances. In the October 23 Newsweek cover story (on newsstands Monday, October 16), "Special Report: North Korea," an international team of correspondents investigates how North Korea may have acquired its nuclear capabilities, why diplomacy failed to halt the program and what might still be done to avoid a conflict.
