North Korea Carter
FILE - In this Aug. 4, 2009 file photo released by the Korean Central News Agency via Korea News Service in Tokyo, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, right, receives a bouquet of flowers upon his arrival at an airport in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Koreans welcomed Jimmy Carter back to Pyongyang with smiles, salutes and hearty handshakes Wednesday as the former American president arrived on a mission to bring home a Boston man jailed in the communist country since January. Visits like Carter's _ and the journey ex-President Bill Clinton made a year ago to secure the release of two American journalists _ serve as more than just rescue missions. They also offer an opportunity for unofficial diplomacy between the U.S. and North Korea, analysts say. (AP Photo/Korean Central News Agency via Korea News Service, File) JAPAN OUT, NO SALES
