Seoul Complained to the State Department about Ambassador Vershbow’s (accurate) characterization of North Korea as a “criminal regime.” This was the response they got:

The Yonhap News Agency on Wednesday quoted a State Department official as saying Vershbow’s remarks reflected U.S. policy toward North Korea. The official declined to comment on a call from Uri Part lawmaker Kim Won-ung to recall the U.S. ambassador.

There may be hope for the State Department yet.
