U.S. sets the bar high in N. Korea talks
By JOHN BARRY KOTCH
Special to The Japan Times
..... the U.S. has set the bar much higher this time around. The 1994 Agreed Framework froze rather than eliminated North Korea's nuclear ambition. It left ambiguous how much nuclear material Pyongyang actually had on hand and what had been done with it. (Now [that] we (that) know North Korea has the bomb and is threatening to prove it.) These issues were to have been resolved before the two promised light-water reactors were actually delivered and made operational.
