North Korea: Where Truth Lies

North Korea: Where Truth Lies

(Global Pulse: April 9, 2009) Was it a missile test or a space launch? Did it fall into the sea or put a satellite into orbit? While most media sources agree that North Korea failed at testing a missile, the North Koreans insist they successfully launched a satellite. The North also launched a propaganda assault inside the country, including patriotic songs supposedly transmitted from orbit and 1950s-style "space age" imagery.
