now I don't mean to already be starting conspiracies but don't you think it's more than likely that it was shot down due to the numerous warnings from other countries not to launch it?
I have no idea why it failed (if it did indeed fail). Could be anything from being shot down, to mechanical problems, to sabotage, to NK themselves did a abort on it (IE they just wanted to shoot the rocket as a statement).
I'll not speculate just yet.

Given NK's track record, I'm leaning more to the following:
1) They launched the rocket, going on about how it was for peaceful purposes, etc, etc, and then after launch, detonated it themselves, so they could then turn around and claim that it was shot down, the world is treating them unfairly, etc, etc.
2) Same as above, except that it actually failed on it's own due to something wrong with it (but not sabotage), and NK will use this to spin the same message: we're being picked on, etc.
We'll just have to see though.
