Al Jazeera adds this Bush quote, which I liked:
"I want to emphasise that the declaration must be complete and accurate if we are to continue our progress," Bush reportedly wrote.
Six years after branding North Korea as part of the "axis of evil", President George W Bush has made an unprecedented personal appeal to Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean leader, to disclose and disable his nuclear programme. The letter, on Dec 1, which the White House described as Mr Bush's first direct communication with Kim, came amid growing concern that Pyongyang will not meet a Dec 31 deadline to reveal all about its nuclear agenda, 15 months after it stunned the world by testing a nuclear device.
