North Korea and Nuclear Secrets
News is being made about N. Korea releasing nuclear secrets after holding out quite a bit of time. With this ground breaking news now, and not earlier, does it give you an idea that N. Korea was tiding up the paper work they wanted to be released.
Could you enlighten me as to why this paperwork could not be released on day one of asking. Why a nation would refuse to hand over information, then come forth with it? I understand one reason would be "exchange for economic, diplomatic and security benefits", and they are having a cooling tower blown up, but something doesn't sit well with me. Possibly N. Korea invested millions of wŏn and didn't see themselves moving forward so it is now time to pull the plug. Furthermore why does the U.S get to tell other countries to stop dangerous activities. Super-power/ Empire / Regime ?

I think you are asking some great questions here. I would also like to know what is different now than 10-15 years ago when many of the suffering could have been prevented.
From what I've seen and read so far, it looks like N. Korea is trying to stage some kind of Chinese style crawl towards open markets and capitalism. Part of Kim Jong Il's challenge is to keep his loyalists paid and happy which explains the millions of commoners who have been starving to death for years. I feel he is starting to lose this control and perhaps he is being forced to engage in trade and open markets by meeting U.S. demands. Personally, I would like this dictator deposed and allow an eventual reunification of the two Koreas, but politically, it would be impossible until all of the old guards in S. Korean politics are dead or removed. Perhaps the secrets that they will share will end up being nothing. Afterall, the seismographic data that was collected during their "test" proved unimpressive.

I suspect NK never really wanted nukes. All of his postering before with tests and such was an attempt to prop up his nuclear program as much as could in order to garner the best deal he could before he had to shut the program down.
His country is in DIRE need of the most basic supplies to survive. Unlike Iran which is relatively rich oil producing country
