That was nice of him.  Ooops I guess it wasnt politicaly correct for the Times to post the story because now the story has been removed. Former President Carter wrote a letter to the dearly departed's son wishing him luck in his new role as leader. Former President Jimmy Carter has sent North Korea a message of condolence over the death of Kim Jong-il and wished “every success” to the son expected to take over as dictator, according to the communist country's state-run news agency. A dispatch from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said Mr. Carter sent the message to Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-il’s third son and heir apparent. “In the message, Jimmy Carter extended condolences to Kim Jong-un and the Korean people over the demise of leader Kim Jong-il. He wished Kim Jong-un every success as he assumes his new responsibility of leadership, looking forward to another visit to [North Korea] in the future,” the KCNA dispatch read. When contacted by The Washington Times for comment and to confirm the accuracy of KCNA’s account, the Carter Center provided an e-mail contact for a spokeswoman who is out of the office until after the New Year. An e-mail message to her assistant was not immediately returned. Mr. Carter has visited North Korea twice, including a 1994 visit for talks that led to a deal in which North Korea agreed to dismantle its nuclear-weapons program in exchange for oil and the construction of two nuclear reactors. That deal collapsed in 2002. The former U.S. president has downplayed a 2010 North Korean attack on a South Korean island and the disclosure of a uranium-enrichment facility, saying the acts were merely “designed to remind the world that they deserve respect in negotiations that will shape their future.”

Fox probably has special access to North Korean radio and TV that nobody else has. This is the Korean News Agency page http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm and the story is there (with all the other condolences stories). Unfortunately, the KNA isn't known for accuracy. So without the verification from the other side (this would - should - never be done without US State Dept permission, as former Pres often serve as proxies) ... no story until so. Quote:

Just going by the title, I thought this was going to be a happy thread! At least he wasn't "Our Tyrant".
