North Korea in the Coalition of the Willing?
The GI Korea Blog's latest post is a must-read:

North Korea to Become US Ally?

Speculating on the news that a top South Korean diplomat disclosed that what "North Korean leader Kim Jong-il really wants is for his secretive state to become an ally of the United States," the GI offers this:

Could you imagine North Korea as a US ally? Maybe we can sign them up to join the Coalition of the Willing and they could run Abu Graib and Gitmo for us. The US could avoid the constant criticism it receives from operating those two installations. If the North Koreans ran them and reports of torture and executions arose people would just say that the North Koreans were just being themselves, no big deal. I think I am on to something here. Condi Rice are you listening?
