That link of Snoop's was to BBC spin. The three countries you mention were called rogue states by John Bolton in a speech called "Beyond the Axis of Evil".
It seems to me that the word "Beyond" is self-explanatory as being non-inclusive to the group. Apparently to the BBC, this is harder to get a grasp on.
The BBC seems to have taken comments made during that speech as grouping the three extra nations into the "Axis of Evil" - weren't they mentioned in the speech in the same context as the original three?
