I will admit that our intelligence has determined that they were producing Uranium and not plutonium during the last years of the Clinton administration. However, since they were not supposed to be producing plutonium nor enriched Uraniuim (and they were) I don't see why this is such a big point.

The distinction is silly. They already had a store of plutonium. They then violated and continued to violate the Agreed Framework, ignoring the Carter/Clinton agreement at every turn. They then pulled a Saddam and threw everyone out - not that they were doing anything anyway. The only difference being that they then stopped being covert about it.
More importantly, China and the "Sunshine" South Koreans knew about it but let them do it for fear that 50 million starving North Koreans would come swarming over the border.
