Do You Know What Happened to the North Koreans?

The Clinton administration became aware of this secret activity, but decided not to tell the North Koreans we knew what they were doing. The Bush people decided that too much stuff was being transferred and they sent an assistant secretary of state Kelly to Pyongyang. In January of the next year, the North Koreans said, fine, you're stopping construction. We're out of the deal. We're going to build nuclear weapons and test them. And indeed in 2004 they tested or 2006 They tested their first nuclear weapon.
