(However, North Korea has exported versions of its Nodong missile to Iran and may have exchanged missile technology with Iraq.) And in a pinch, all three could justify their programs in terms that might not compel listeners to use the E word.

The evidence was compel- ling enough for the former director of the German intelligence service, Hans-Georg Wieck, to conclude that Hanning's warning was justified. "You don't make a statement like that just to make people vigilant, otherwise you lose credibility," he says. "They've got something." But what? And is it enough...
