Senators Reid (D-NV), Levin (D-MI), Biden (D-DE) and Rockefeller (D-WV) have urged President Bush “to appoint a special envoy to coordinate Korea policy and represent us in direct dialogue with North Korea and at the Six Party talks.”

Our current path leads to one of two bad outcomes: either the United States essentially will acquiesce to the North’s serial production of nuclear weapons, or we will find ourselves in a military confrontation with a desperate, nuclear-armed, regime.
Here is the full text of the letter. For whatever reason, the letter has not been picked up by the media, beyond a blurb from Bloomberg.
