Noth Korea has nukes
U.S. says N. Korea admits secret nuclear program
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- North Korea, confronted with U.S. "evidence," has acknowledged to the United States that it has operated a secret nuclear program for several years in violation of a 1994 agreement, senior U.S. officials have said.
One of the officials told Reuters Wednesday that the Bush administration believed North Korea's activities "have effectively nullified the 1994 Agreed Framework," an agreement under which Pyongyang promised to freeze its nuclear program.
But the officials said the administration was consulting with Congress and allies and had made no judgment about next steps in its relations with Pyongyang
