What's going on in Syria?
Israel bombs or captures suspected nuclear material and weapons that arrived from North Korea, and Israel will not say a single word about it. Syria is promising a response and fears a US/Israeli attack. Will war with Iran start in Syria?

and this one on the possibility that it was a South Korean or "unknown" ship

1. A mountain of speculation based on a molehill of fact, so far.

With Steven J. Hadley smack in the middle of it:

"The opaqueness surrounding the nature of what may have been hit in Operation Orchard has been compounded by claims that US knowledge over the alleged 'agricultural site' has come not from its own intelligence and satellite imaging, but from material supplied to Washington from Tel Aviv over the last six months, material that has been restricted to just a few senior officials under the instructions of national security adviser Stephen Hadley, leaving many in the intelligence community uncertain of its veracity."

2. from globalsecurity.org
this is the last paragraph from the article

"This flurry of reporting came a few days in advance of a regular round of six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear problem, which was anticipated to be held in late September 2007. A group of nuclear experts from the United States, Russia, and China arrived in North Korea on 11 September 2007 on a five-day visit to carry out inspections in the country, and draw up recommendations for shutting down all the country's remaining nuclear facilities."
