I put in the link to that story in the expectation that anyone who was interested would click on it and read it. The quote was to give a taste of it, and put the link in context; and it was picked in this case to respond specifically to the query Doug raised.

Any quote is by definition selective. But the Guardian retains its archives, so there's no point in wasting bandwidth by running the whole story here. And it's much easier to read an article of any length in the paper's own website than it is in a thread here.

(And that last sentence that Troll thought "changed the whole tenor of the Guardian article" was one that I had in effect referred to in my post: "I'm not sugesting that it's OK for North Korea to break international agreements, as they appear to have done in this case.")
