The UN's atomic watchdog says it has removed seals and surveillance cameras from North Korea's main nuclear complex at Pyongyang's request.

North Korea says the move is part of a plan to reactivate the Yongbyon plant, and that it plans to return nuclear material to the site next week.

The move comes amid a dispute over an international disarmament-for-aid deal.

A similar step in 2002 sparked a crisis which eventually resulted in Pyongyang testing a nuclear weapon in 2006.

2. How about we take away their incentive to build a nuclear weapon.

Ending this missile defense system program would be a good idea. Then they wouldn't have a reason and the rest of the world would take us seriously.

3. Anybody remember the Repub meme...

that Clinton had somehow allowed the N Koreans to become a nuke power, when what he actually did was pay them to stop development.

The only time we see the Repubs bullshit played back and compared to reality is on Jon's show.

G. Reat White, a representative for sharks, hailed the action.

"I mean, can you imagine setting off a holocaust just for grabbing a bite to eat?" White said.
