North Korean kabuki dance - From the WashPost: "Under the agreement, North Korea will close and "seal" its main nuclear reactor at Yongbyon within 60 days in return for 50,000 tons of fuel oil, as a first step in its abandonment of all nuclear weapons and research programs."

Hours after the agreement, the Norks announced they would close the reactor "temporarily" in exchange for 1,000,000 tons of fuel: "In a sign of potential problems to come, North Korea's state news agency said the country was receiving 1 million tons of oil for a "temporary suspension" of its nuclear facilities -- and failed to mention the full disarmament for which the agreement calls." Yeah, whatever.
