#2 Peekaboo, Kimmie...

The satellite images show North Korea has dug and refilled a significant hole at a suspected test site in Gilju in the northeastern part of the country, said the official, discussing intelligence only on the condition of anonymity. The hole was dug in a manner consistent with preparations for an underground nuclear test, although it is not known whether the North Koreans deposited a weapon inside, the official said.
In addition, the official said, they have built some bleachers a sufficient distance from the hole, presumably for viewing any test.

Hopefully, they'll screw up on that ''sufficient distance'' calculation...
