    The Bush administration announced on Saturday that it was removing North Korea from a list of state sponsors of terrorism and said the country had agreed to adhere to concessions on its nuclear program, in a bid to salvage a fragile nuclear deal that seemed on the verge of collapse.

    Well, that’s probably good news for any Americans interested in taking a guided tour of North Korea in 2009. Uh, not that I know anyone who is crazy enough to want to do that…except me (and a few of my friends).
