Good point--the North Korean ties of WWP/ANSWER/Troops Out haven't received as much analysis as they probably should.

BUMP to this thread in light of today's testimony in Libby trial....... and I found this closing statement from Novak in this still-highly-relevant article to be intriguing (Novak indicating that Corn and Isikoff may owe much more to Pillar than they acknowledge??):

"In their tirade against the Bush White House, Isikoff and Corn found a hero: Paul Pillar, then the CIA officer in charge of the Middle East. During the 2004 election campaign, I wrote in a column that Pillar was delivering off-the-record briefings to citizens groups around the country, and was highly critical of the president seeking a second term. Probing such subversion at the CIA might have been an interesting exercise for an investigative reporter, but that is not what this book is about."
