Medea Benjamin: North Korea Has No Nukes
Posted by Dave Blount at March 21, 2006 7:57 AM
This is certainly a relief: We have the word of Medea Benjamin of Code Pink that North Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons after all.
Never mind the evidence to the contrary. Never mind North Korea's public admissions. Never mind that America's worst ex-President Jimmy Carter negotiated the 1994 agreement by which Bill Clinton helped North Korea develop nukes.
A North Korean general may say:
What we can say to you definitely right now is that we currently have nuclear weapons.
But Medea Benjamin says:
North Korea does not have a nuclear weapon. We know that North Korea doesn't have a nuclear weapon.
Benjamin isn't your garden variety kook. Her Code Pink organization has important friends like Howard Dean and Jack Murtha. Certainly we can take her word on this, just as Carter and Clinton wisely took the North Koreans' word that if we helped them build nuclear reactors, they'd lay off their nuclear weapons program.
