N. Korea Says It Showed 'Nuclear Deterrent'

North Korea said Saturday that it showed its "nuclear deterrent" to an unofficial U.S. delegation that visited the disputed Yongbyon nuclear complex, which had been closed to outsiders since the North expelled U.N. inspectors more than a year ago.

A member of the delegation, which included experts and former government officials, said the five Americans were allowed to see everything they requested but it was not clear if the "nuclear deterrent" was a bomb. Delegates said they could give no further details until they reported to Washington.

I'm scared, but intrigued already!
Can't wait to hear what they were shown and to hear their stories of what life (and probably a lot of death, too, sadly) is like in Kim's Land of the Lost.
