I wonder where relative to these was the alleged first nuke test in Korea, the one the Japs allegedly set off on the last days of WWII, after Nagasaki. History channel had a couple hours on it and it was written up by a reporter not too long after the 'fact' based on a supposed eye witness. As the Communists took over that area we weren't able to investigate it directly, but I don't know whether we held the area at any time during the Korean War. The claim should someday be able to be proven or disproven. I'd think evidence must remain of some sort if a rigorous scientific analysis were permitted, i.e. once the North falls. I could understand our knowing it had happened and covering it up; there being no obvious advantage to us from having it known and disadvantages on both civilian morale and proliferation concerns from making it known.

Still, if true, it would be interesting to prove the Japs were only a month behind us in testing their first nuke. That would make Pelosi's apology in Hiroshima last year sound even flatter than it did. Pelosi is currently trying to hide in Shanghai. N. Korea nuked her gambit. I hope the Asian press asks her what she's hearing from the CIA on this AND whether she believes them! It also would prick Russian pride to no longer be in second place. However it might hurt Sino-Japanese relations.
