Bah! Chung got his wish

So I was hoping that during their trip to the North this week, the South Korean contingent (lead by Chung Dong Young) would not get to meet with Kim Jong-il. Not because I fear the outcome of the meeting (as in potentilas in unification), but rather because ANY news from this meeting will be milked by Chung in his bid for greater glory.

Bah! He seems to have gotten at least a bit.

Chung had a one-on-one meeting with Kim for two and a half hours and an additional two-hour, 20-minute lunch session with the North Korean leader along with several other South Korean officials and civilians.

Chung reportedly briefed Kim on the outcome of the June 10 South Korea-U.S. summit, including an American offer of security guarantees and an offer of help from Seoul in normalizing ties between Pyongyang and Washington if North Korea gives up its nuclear weapons.


I'm really not looking forward to this milking.
