Bill Clinton To NORTH KOREA  

yea, i was a bit surprised to hear it but then again Reagan did it too with the iran hostage situation.

of course, actual negotiation happened before bill clinton flew to north korea to secure the release of two journalists. the real work happened before the visit. bill clinton simply formalized the negotiation and north korea was all too happy to welcome a high profile US leader to get some attention for the negotiation. whatever the concession that north korea was able to gain and the US willingly provided is still vague. let's wait until things become clear.

i was glad to hear that i was not to suprised because i knew somewhere in his heart he was a good guy.

As usual, Dems rewarding bad behavior. I wonder what N. Korea got in return besides free publicity. It's probably a big secret in this era of governmental transparency.
