INSIGHT NEWS ALERT! A new issue of Insight on the News is now online!
http://www.insightmag.com/ ............................................... Folks, I note a front-page article in today’s Washington Times, that says North Korea’s Kim Jong-il is responsible for a famine that has killed more than 2 million of his own people in the last 10 years. He’s also in the middle of reactivating his nuclear weapons program. On the face of it, this hideous behavior dwarfs anything Saddam has is doing. He’s thrown another joker into the U.S.’ Gulf War planning. Will the commitment of U.S. forces in the Gulf give Kim any ideas in Asia? Here’s hoping the White House treads carefully. And in case this isn’t enough to think about, Anthony Kimery reveals why Western. intelligence people are worried about the next big terrorist act – a high-radiation nuclear explosion – with Saddam in the middle of it. http://www.insightmag.com/news/342909.html . That’s all for now. Until next time, I’m still your newsman in Washington, from the Bunker. ...............................................
