This analysis, from former Bush administration Asia hand Michael Green, caught my eye as I re-read a recent New York Times article on North Korea and the formerly detained journalists.
Mr. Green said the North was unlikely to release the women without getting something in return. Although North Korea does not expect the Obama administration to abandon its effort to impose sanctions on the North for its recent nuclear test, he said, it is likely to want a “high-profile visit” by an administration official to demonstrate that “it’s possible to return to business as usual.”
A former president is even better. Business as usual, indeed.
