U.S. Flexibility Credited in Nuclear Deal With N. Korea

The Washington Post writes U.S. Flexibility Credited in Nuclear Deal With N. Korea

"Now Bush has signed off on a deal that accepts North Korea's original position -- a 'freeze' of its Yongbyon nuclear facility -- and requires Washington to move first by unfreezing some North Korean bank accounts. The agreement leaves until later dealing with such vexing issues as the dismantlement of the facility, North Korea's stash of weapons-grade plutonium and even North Korea's admission of the nuclear program that started the crisis in the first place."

Apparently the deal came about because of some informal bilateral talks between the US and NK. Another thing Bush was wrong about.
