WHO DO YOU BELIEVE LESS?

North Korea is denying receiving any nuclear technology or secrets from Pakistan, claiming the reports are part of a U.S. smear campaign.

So now we have North Korea on one side and Pakistan on the other. Neither are exactly what you might describe as "free and fair" societies, and their governments have many reputations but I don't think honesty figures on the list for either.

Meanwhile the World Healh Organisation, clearly angry that the nuclear revelations have knocked bird flu off the frontpages, have found someone else in Vietnam who has apparently died after getting too close to chickens, taking the worldwide death toll from this latest killer disease to a rather pathetic 19. They are still however offering stern advice about the threat of a pandemic.

I'm not sure which if three are less credible.
