Four Big Stories
from Sam Jaffe. You'll have to read the whole thing, but here's a teaser:

1. Now that we have him, we can ask him: Did Saddam order you to liase with Al Qaeda?
2. Either it's a makework program for North Korean pep squads or...In fact there is not other explanation besides the one that says: They're going to test a bomb. This has been mentioned in many news sources, but the gigantism of this fact is understated. North Korea is about to test a nuclear bomb!
3. Downgrading corporate bonds to junk status is not done lightly.
4. Sure, it drops the price of an HD monster TV to less than $500 (that's a factor of 10). But the more important implication is that this will be the first consumer killer app that can be attributed to nanotechnology research (no, pants that stain less don't count).

I don't know if the word of this one guy on Al Q and Saddam can be seen as some sort of smoking gun. The Bush crew should know all about that after the Chilabi debacle.
I fully agree about North Korea though, and the reality of the situation is that its impact overwhelms #1 by an order of magnitude of an order of magnitude.

Agreed on the first, but they sort of came as a package.
Also, I would be absolutely shocked if there turned out to be a direct link between Al Q and Hussein, so I don't think much will come of it.
North Koreas is a big problem though, and unfortunately, I don't really think there is a good way to handle them.
