		India's successful concealment of its true intentions, both in face-to-face official diplomacy and in the actual performance of the test preparations at the Pokhran site, has embarrassed the U.S. intelligence community and lead to charges of an "intelligence failure" that is already damaging prospects for ratification of the CTBT.
