Donald Rumsfeld, current U.S. Secretary of War, was on the board of the company that contracted for two light-water nuclear reactors in North Korea in 2000. He left that position to join the Bush administration. The company is A.B.B., headquartered in Zurich; the contract was for $200 million; the reactors are capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium.

Dubya gave North Korea $95 million in April 2002 for their nuclear program, and at the same time waived inspections that were agreed to under the 1994 Agreed Framework, as set up by the Clinton administration.
