Swiss authorities question U.S. counterfeiting charges against North Korea



From McClatchy Newspaper:


WASHINGTON - Swiss police who closely monitor the circulation of counterfeit currency have challenged the Bush administration's assertions that North Korea is manufacturing fake American $100 bills.

President Bush has accused North Korea of making and circulating the false bills, so perfect they're called supernotes, and in late 2005 the U.S. Treasury took measures to block that country's access to international banking. North Korea subsequently halted negotiations over dismantling its nuclear weapons program, a process that remains in limbo because of the dispute.


The Swiss federal criminal police, in a report released Monday, expresses serious doubt that North Korea is capable of manufacturing the fake bills, which it said were superior to real ones.

Just the Gerbil gearing up the spin for potential attack on North Korea.
speaking of spin:

Shouldn't another big Al Qaida, Taliban capture/kill be coming up soon?

And is that Al-Queda is the one responsible for global warming? ;-)

The Gerbil better not dare to attack North Korea. North Korea have more strong and large amount of soldiers than the U.S.
