Cheney plays down N. Korea strike calls
U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney has played down calls from former defence officials for a pre-emptive military strike to destroy a potential North Korean missile launch site.
In an op-ed piece in Thursday's Washington Post, William Perry, secretary of defense under former President Bill Clinton, and Ashton Carter, Clinton's assistant secretary of defense, called for a pre-emptive strike to prevent North Korea from obtaining valuable flight data from the launch.
Cheney however said such actions will only worsen the situation.
