COMMENTS: No Boarding of Korean Slowpokes
While Barack Obama offered a cautious soundbite on the protests in Teheran, his active diplomacy concerned the Korean peninsula. Only CBS assigned a reporter to cover his talks with President Lee Myung-Bak of South Korea, who is "a hard-liner" in opposition to North Korea's nuclear program, according to David Martin. Martin reminded us that the Security Council of the United Nations has passed a resolution authorizing the world's navies "to confront but not to board" any North Korean ship suspected of carrying arms. Quipped Martin: "North Korean ships poke along at about ten knots so this is not a fast-moving crisis."
