While some may see this call for nuclear weapons in South Korea as a tactic to "get more say" in nuclear planning for now, this debate is not going to simply go away with increased consultation.

I’m proud to count @idreesali114 as a good friend, and not just my colleague at Reuters. It makes me upset to see him treated differently than an American reporter on the same plane. I’m glad this issue has been resolved for now but will there be assurances about the future?
Yesterday on an official trip with Deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Hicks, my phone was confiscated by a DoD official, locked up and I was stopped from using electronics because of a new policy that bars non-US reporters from using devices on govt planes. (Pic taken by US citizen)
