Uh, don't look now, but I think we have a fairly significant foreign policy crisis:
North Korea said Monday it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test and the blast had been successfully set off underground with no radioactive leakage from the site.
An official at South Korea's seismic monitoring center confirmed a magnitude-3.6 tremor felt at the time North Korea said it conducted the test was not a natural occurrence. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition his name not be used, because he was not authorized to talk about the sensitive information to the media.
Note to Pundits and Politicians: Can we please stop talking about Foley, now, and discuss this? It's sort of important.
