A very interesting article about Gaddafi and his recent capitulation

The most interesting bit is here:

"For one of the strangest elements to the Libyan saga is the newness of all those centrifuges and nuclear gizmos which the UN, the Brits and the Americans have been "finding" in Gaddafistan. Were they really there for decades? When did Gaddafi decide to install them? And how come the US intelligence service - which could identify non-existent railroad chemical weapons labs in Iraq - failed to pick up the radiation from Gaddafi's supposed nuclear programme? It was a humble Independent reader - thank you, Willy McCourt of Manchester - who pointed out to me that Libya has a population of only six million; "imagine Ireland having a nuclear programme and nobody knowing about it," he wrote. Quite so."

this is omething that i hadn't really thought about before. How could the US have missed this? I mean they say they can see that North Korea is developing uranium centrifuges, why couldn't they see this activity?

Any other thoughts on this?
