     NEW YORK, March 7 (AP) - (Kyodo)âNorth Korea admitted to sending
     engineers to military- related and other facilities in Syria during
     its recent talks with the United States over its nuclear program,
     diplomatic sources in New York said Friday.

     Pyongyang, however, denied its involvement in Syrian nuclear
     development, according to the sources.

   In the post [2]"Oh, You Meant THOSE Engineers?", John at Powerline
   says:

     Sure, that's plausible. Maybe the Syrians wanted to learn about
     North Korea's industry-leading flat-panel television technology.
     Who wants Japanese engineers when you can get access to North
     Korea's? Or perhaps the North Korean engineers were
     dieticians--human engineers, so to speak--who could teach North
     Korea's techniques for making each generation shorter than the
     preceding one, with a shorter life span, too.

     Syria may not be a technological powerhouse, but the idea that it
     would want North Korean engineering expertise, or North Korean
     "materials," relating to anything other than nuclear weapons is
     laughable.
