North Korea missile test/satellite launch

Re: North Korea missile test/satellite launch

Retracted
The following article has been retracted by the editors because it misrepresents what the speaker said. Mr. Gingrich said that North Korea could pose a more serious threat because it might use an electromagnetic pulse weapon, not that the country should be attacked with such a weapon by the United States.

The editors regret the error.

The original article appears below.

I've got to say, at least they obviously have more balls than our OTF buddy, or than some of his favorite sites like the Daily Kos. Raw Story could have just tried to 'disappear' the piece rather than owning up.

Re: North Korea missile test/satellite launch

"Disagreement over North Korea's motivation is one issue blocking the UN from issuing a resolution on Sunday's launch. China, which wields veto power on the UN Security Council, says it's still unclear if North Korea launched a missile or a satellite."

Quick, someone send China a video of the launch!

""The launch was successful," says Lee Dok-joo, professor of aerospace engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, widely known as KAIST, "but the satellite was intentionally discarded." Normally, he adds, "a satellite has a signal, but we have no capability to detect this one."
