New Woodpile Report

Just a reminder that there is a new Woodpile Report. One of the articles to which Ol' Remus has linked, which I think is worth particular consideration, is this from VOA News on whether North Korea has the ability to launch an EMP attack against the U.S. From the article:

Peter Vincent Pry told VOA he believes North Korea is ready to attempt a strike on the U.S. electric grid using an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). Pry said North Korea practiced an EMP strike against the U.S. last year when it orbited a satellite at the optimal altitude and trajectory to carry out such an attack. 

... Pry was a member of the former Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack (2001-2008). He also is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, a congressional advisory board dedicated to achieving protection of the United States from electromagnetic pulse and other threats.

At the end of the article, it mentions Pry's claims that the Soviets had produced a "super-EMP" weapon and some of the scientists had gone to North Korea following the collapse of communism.
