http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/J/JAPAN_US_NKOREA?SITE=CATOR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT This link is taken from the thread started by Universial called. "U.S., N.Korea Held Talks in Feb." If you read the article we also had talks in Janurary. So they are talking, just not officially. (Mods, we are getting way too many threads started. I see two on Iraqi soilder surrendering that link to the exact same article, and all the N. Korea threads are on very similar topics. Can you merge some of these threads to get some continuity to the discussion.)
