Kaesong Update

You know how bad the WaPo’s North Korea coverage is when the Reuters feeds outshine the stuff that Anthony Faiola and Glenn Kessler are writing these days. This story indicates that although the park proceeds toward production, U.S. opposition is putting a major crimp in its prospects (predictably, Europe has no moral qualms about buying from the Axis of Evil). One of the biggest issues–as it should be–is how to label products made mostly with North Korean labor and then finished in the South. Another is that the U.S. is restricting the export of dual-use machine tools and other equipment into the North.

As it should be.
