Think Progress » REPORT: Bush Officials Were ‘Rooting’ For North Korea to Test Nuclear Weapon:

Glenn Kessler reports from Moscow as he accompanies Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice:
Before North Korea announced it had detonated a nuclear device, some senior officials even said they were quietly rooting for a test, believing that would finally clarify the debate within the administration.
