From the first of Leonis' articles:
Nevertheless, the agreement marks a turnabout for North Korea, which rattled the world only four months ago when it tested a nuclear device. If Pyongyang follows through with its promises, they would be the first moves the communist state has made to scale back its atomic development since it kicked out international inspectors and restarted its sole operating nuclear reactor in 2003.

Interesting tidbit there, with one operating reactor, in 2003, N Korea tested a nuclear device 4 months ago. Shoots down the claims that there was no way that Iran could do the same, doesn't it? I'm not going to pretend I know what they are doing, but I won't ignore what they could be doing. Especially when the evidence is blaringly clear that they could already have at least one nuclear device.

Interesting snippet from one of Micah's articles: On 25 April 2006 Tehran's top nuclear negotiator said Iran will cut off its relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency if the UN Security Council imposes sanctions against it. "If sanctions are imposed on Iran, then we will suspend our relations with the IAEA," said Ali Larijani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council said. Larijani also said that Iran would stop acting in a transparent manner over its nuclear programs if it is attacked. "If the USA attacks Iran's nuclear facilities, we will stop acting transparently in the nuclear field and continue covert nuclear work at other facilities," he said.

I'm not sure what this means, as it could be taken two ways, but one of those ways is to read what he said, "...continue covert nuclear work at other facilities". Literal translations are sometimes the best.
