...still has some influence with the Roh government, and hashing out a common diplomatic tack on the nuclear issue, while tricky, may be achievable. The bigger problem for the U.S. is likely to be China, which has a history of doing exactly what Bush says he will not do: reward North Korean intransigence. When the nuclear crisis was heating up in the summer of 2003, China's Vice Foreign Minister, Dai Bingguo, visited North Korea to persuade Pyongyang to attend six-party talks.

...newspaper ads, seen in Pakistani towns, signify a shift in the theory about where bin Laden might be. Congressman Mark Kirk, the Illinois Republican who wrote the bill boosting the reward and who just traveled to Pakistan, says it's possible bin Laden is not in some snowy mountain cave but has melted away into one of the teeming Pakistani cities, as had several other al-Qaeda agents who have been captured.
