Every Korea expert I've seen has averred that this administration did *not* try bilateral talks with N. Korea at any point. Perhaps Bush and Rice are including Clinton and Albright in their "we", but that seems unusually broad-minded; I'm more inclined to credit this as an outright lie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
