Like the Korean cease-fire?

Long range Mx not to exceed a certain range. Fire it without warhead and/or guidance systems to check aerodynamics and it'll exceed that range if the specific impulse of the fuel and the quantity of the fuel loaded are the same as those of an operational missile.

A fact of which the US was undoubtedly aware, but chose instead to use as another piece of dubious (dubyas) 'intel.' 'American intelligence' seems in danger of becoming a bit of an oxymoron these days.

Oh - and any sign of the WMDs yet? Actual ones, that is, not just the papers of some scientist who thought about them 10 years ago.

And in case anyone thinks I'm becoming some closet conchy, I actually support corralling Taliban and terrorist suspects in Gitmo. For as long as you like, please. If you happen to lose the jail keys, well - hey, $hit happens...
