Rumsfeld and North Korea

April 9, 2002

Dear BuzzFlash,

I don't know if you already know this but I thought you would be interested in this little tidbit. Rummy sits on the ABB Board of Directors, which in Jan 2000 sold nuke stuff to N. Korea! I wonder if Bush, knowing this, will retract his Axis of Evil statement to exclude N. Korea? There's money for Rummy in Nukes!

US grants N Korea nuclear funds
April 3, 2002

The US Government has announced that it will release $95m to North Korea as part of an agreement to replace the Stalinist country's own nuclear programme, which the US suspected was being misused.

Under the 1994 Agreed Framework an international consortium is building two proliferation-proof nuclear reactors and providing fuel oil for North Korea while the reactors are being built.
