It's that wacky Kim Jong Il again!
Reuters reveals that N. Korea Says U.S. Oil Cutoff Ends Nuclear Pact:
North Korea said on Thursday the United States had nullified a landmark nuclear pact with the decision last week to cut oil supplies to Pyongyang over its atomic weapons program.

On November 14, Washington and its allies decided to stop vital fuel oil aid to penalize North Korea for breaking a series of nuclear non-proliferation pledges, including the 1994 Agreed Framework, with a covert uranium enrichment program which Pyongyang confessed last month to operating.

The isolated communist state's first response to the decision said the oil cutoff meant "it is high time to decide upon who is to blame for the collapse of the Framework."
Maybe they'll report back if they get a clue.
