At one point, when asked about the North's alleged uranium-enrichment program, she said the U.S. had "never quite verified" its existence. That was certainly not the position of several key people in the Bush Administration - including the former President himself. The question now is, Will Pyongyang, feeling a bit ignored, raise enough of a ruckus to force itself back onto Washington's center stage?
