Quickhits - The kid in the slow class is causing trouble again

(AP, NYTimes) South Korean intelligence claims that the attacks crippling some S. Korean and US websites are coming from "North Korea or pro-Pyongyang forces in South Korea." (Asymmetric warfare. What's the response, shut down their horse carts?)

(AP) Kim Jong Il makes only his second appearance since last summer's suspected stroke, and he looked "thin," "gaunt," and had less hair. (Frankly, I hope the guy kicks soon so they can stop all the pre-transition posturing/hostility.)

(USAToday) "Undercover investigators sneaked bombs and detonators past security guards and into federal buildings occupied by the Homeland Security, Justice and State departments..." (Get ready for Joe Lieberman to get some media time...)

(WaPo) China will execute those it holds responsible for the recent ethnic clashes in Xinjiang.

(Guardian) British shock that MI-5 sort of used Pakistan's ISI to "outsource" torture.

(Reuters) Yet another US drone attack in the Pakistani tribal lands. Supposedly, 6 killed.
