President Clinton in N. Korea ---pix--->>

You go Bill!

This photo released by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Il (Front R) posing with former US President Bill Clinton (Front L) and his delegation members in Pyongyang. Clinton, in North Korea to secure the freedom of imprisoned American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, met with the pair on Tuesday, ABC News reported.

South Koreans watch a television broadcast showing photos of the two US journalists detained in North Korea at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul. North Korea will pardon two jailed US journalists after visiting former president Bill Clinton apologised to leader Kim Jong-Il for their behaviour, state media reported Wednesday.

8. My guess is that portrait photos of such diplomatic occasions

are deemed serious business -- if Clinton had smiled, this would indicate to the North Koreans that he was not taking their government seriously.

Just a guess, but Bill is certainly STRENUOUSLY non-smiling!
