...most of President Bush's time in office, North Korea has been merely a pest, one that the President insisted on dealing with exclusively in concert with China, South Korea, Japan and Russia in six-party talks. But since late last summer, when all the parties agreed in principle that North Korea would shut down its nuclear program in exchange for security guarantees, the North has refused to show up for meetings. Now that Kim has ignored warnings--from the U.S., Russia and China--not to test his missile capability and is threatening more tests in the immediate future...

Guantnamo has long since ceased being just a detention center for terrorism suspects. It's a symbol, and it shapes how the world views America and how Americans view themselves. While all three branches of government need to work in concert to balance the strategic and legal imperatives involved in fighting terrorism, the White House can take a huge step toward removing the discomfort about Gitmo by opening the operation to the outside world. A few journalists have been granted access to the facility following the coordinated suicides of three inmates last month, but camera crews and reporters...
