A Little Democratic Leadership

KOBTV, Albuquerque:
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson’s visit to North Korea appears to be yielding unexpected fruit.

Richardson, part of a bipartisan delegation dispatched to North Korea to return remains of U.S. MIAs, appears to have secured a concession from the communist state on its developing nuclear weapons program.

Monday, a North Korean nuclear arms negotiator relayed to Richardson that the country would be willing to allow international U.N. arms inspectors into the country if some $25 million in North Korean money that has been frozen is released.

On Tuesday, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill signaled from Tokyo the U.S. willingness to deal.
I haven't seen this in any national media. Have you?
