But Washington has been deliberately coy about when the North might expect to actually get assistance on a peaceful nuclear project - "basically, the message has been, when hell freezes over," says Cossa. But with North Korea having been officially taken off the bad guy list, this is likely to be the next item on Kim Jong...
