...Tehran defused the crisis with nimble diplomacy, opening up its facilities to inspection and allowing unannounced and more intrusive inspections of its nuclear sites. That's not enough for the Europeans, and particularly the Americans, who insist on Iran abandoning all enrichment activity and making do with low-grade reactor fuel imported from Europe. (The concern is that enrichment is a route to bomb material - low levels of enrichment make reactor fuel, but much higher levels can create bomb-grade material.) Iran rejects this offer, refusing to make its nuclear energy program dependent on the goodwill of outsiders. Tehran insists...
...with the U.S., South Korea, China, Japan and Russia on dismantling its nuclear program, and is sticking instead to its familiar diplomatic tactics of ambiguity and provocation. Last week, North Korea jangled nerves around the region again by announcing it had unloaded 8,000 fuel rods at its Yongbyon reactor?a step that would allow it to harvest more weapons-grade plutonium for a stockpile already estimated at up to eight weapons. The North lobbed a short-range missile into the Sea of Japan (or East Sea) earlier this month. And U.S. officials have been warning that spy satellites have...

...which include IBM - have captured only about €1.2 billion, half last year's market share, according to sourcing advisors TPI. If that number keeps shrinking, there might be a few more IBM employees feeling the Big Blues. - By Michael Brunton Waiting For A Reaction The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) won't begin producing energy before 2050, but it's already generating hot air. Last week, Japan considered filing a formal protest after French officials - including President Jacques Chirac - indicated that the French site at Cadarache, 65 km north of Marseilles, had all but bagged the €10 billion...
...Meanwhile, the North's ability to wage nuclear war may be growing, thereby increasing the ransom?food and fuel to prop up Kim's ailing economy?that he's expected to demand as the price of nuclear disarmament. North Korea recently shut down its Yongbyon nuclear reactor, raising concerns that it might be harvesting up to 8,000 spent plutonium fuel rods that could be used to build as many as six atomic bombs. Equally troubling, the director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, Vice Admiral Lowell Jacoby, testified in Congress last week that the North may now be capable...
