The New York Times has now ventured into the discussion of what happened in that Israeli air force raid inside Syria. The piece is so hedged about that it doesn't really add much to what we already know, or rather what has already been widely, even promiscuously, speculated -- namely, that the Israelis believed they were attacking some sort of incipient nuclear installation, put together with equipment from North Korea. But it does give a touch more information about sourcing -- saying the information came from "current and former American and Israeli officials."

There's also the tidbit that China "abruptly cancelled" diplomatic talks in Beijing about the on-going negotiations about shutting down North Korea's nuclear facilities.

This one just keeps getting weirder. And it still strikes me as extremely suspicious.
