Interesting read.

By far, the worst beatings took place after Newsweek reported that the crew were "spies". Because a spy has absolutely no protection under the Geneva Conventions, the NK's beat all of the crew almost 'round the clock. The NK's pointed to the Newsweek article as justification, leaving the crew very bitter about the article.:icon_rage

You are absolutely right here about alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Assuming it was an underground test, all this would be blocked. However, these are not the only byproducts. Xrays would be readily detectible as would the electromagnetic disturbance created by even an underground detonation. I don't know what our explicit capabilities are in this area but simple physics says...

I imagine there's a way to differentiate a conventional explosion from a nuclear one based on the difference in brisance between the two. I don't know how you would/could look at that from an instrumentation POV, but there are some pretty clever folks at Livermore/Sandia National Labs, etc.

I thought the worst was when they found out that the standard 'greeting' the crew was giving was not really a 'greeting' after all.......F#ck You!!

P.S. The Pueblo is the second oldest ship in the US Navy, can anyone guess #1 and #3. She is in Pyonyang right now as a museum.....:(

That's because Newsweek (at least in its current form and I doubt it's changed) is so far left it's recockulous. The drivel that comes out of that rag is the worst excuse for "journalism"... I wouldn't wipe my a$$ with that magazine. I'll read the New York Times if I want a liberal slant on news... at least they're actually reporting.
