Second NORK Nuclear Test?

Second NORK Nuclear Test?: "ABC's Jonathan Karl is quoting a 'senior defense officials' claiming that North Korea has made preparations for a second nuclear test.

...

But, first, my favorite Clinton-era Defense Department joke:

Q. What would you do if the North Koreans tested a nuclear weapon?

A. Tell them to test the other one.

That, of course, isn't funny now that the Bush Administration has let these guys separate another 20-43 kilograms of plutonium — enough for several more nuclear weapons beyond the one, possibly two, that North Korea had in January 2001."
