Byron Dorgan: “I talked about the dangers presented by North Korea. I talked about the importance of prosecuting the war on terrorism…”

“I talked about the dangers presented by North Korea. I talked about the importance of prosecuting the war on terrorism, and protecting this country against terrorist attacks. And I said that while Iraq and Saddam Hussein are a problem, we have to face these other issues as well. If today trucks are backing up to a plant in North Korea and moving fuel rods that will become processed and become part of a nuclear bombmaking process, and a bomb could be sold by North Korea to other countries, and to terrorists, that is a serious problem. That could come back in a year and a half or 2 years into this country in the form of a nuclear bomb possessed by a terrorist. That is serious business. We are told that the trucks are moving. We are told that is what is happening in North Korea. And yet there does not seem to be the same kind of attention paid to it as is now paid to the country of Iraq.”
