| JEJU ISLAND, South Korea, June 4 (Yonhap) -- The United States has put "all options" on the table to counter North Korea's continued provocations, the top U.S. envoy in South Korea said Thursday, hinting that Washington may pursue its own sanctions after the U.N. takes action against the communist nation for its latest nuclear test. "In terms of the options that we are looking at, I think we're looking at all options," Ambassador Kathleen Stephens said in a forum here with South Korean journalists.

| #8 U.S. looking at "all options" to deal with Norks Nice. But how hard are they looking at the one that will work? I feel the South Koreans are going to have to go in and kick some NorK a$$ with US assistance. Might have to use food as a weapon here, and as an enticement to play nice after the festivities begin. |

| #6 JM: Interesting. I wondered why the passenger list was kept quiet. I thought I also heard a diplomat was on board. Chinese nuclear scientists in Brazil, when they are energy independent, makes one wonder who they were meeting with. Brazil is also a team player on the International Space Station, with rocket launching capabilities. |
