The Key.
There is no "objective" evidence re North Korea or Iraq. It's all reported, and filtered.
For instance, it is trumpeted that the Korean guy said that in the event of an attack he'd retaliate against the US.
It was reported that he threatened the US. Which was true, but not the story.
Believing ones sides own BS is a big mistake. And when you've seen it a dozen times you are able to pick it out a bit better.
