Like all nuclear-weapons�programs, North Korea's should be a concern for everyone. The notion of who is an outlaw and who occupies the moral high ground on enforcing nuclear nonproliferation isn't as clear to me as your article makes out.

In light of Algeria's traditionally ruthless treatment of Islamist militants, Amnesty International warns that Britain may be sending him home to face abuses. "If Abu Doha is deported as planned, he faces grave danger of detention and torture in Algeria," says an Amnesty spokesman in London, who says at least 12 specific cases of alleged secret detention and torture in Algeria have been reported to his group since 2002.
