Your memory is a little fuzzy then.

Albright served as U.N. ambassador during President Clinton's first term and as secretary of state in the second Clinton administration. As secretary of state, she visited Pyongyang in October 2000. In this interview, she describes her visit and what it was like to negotiate with Kim Jong Il. She argues that holding direct talks with North Korea should not be considered appeasement, and tells FRONTLINE that the Bush administration, "has kind of dug its heels in and said anything that we did vis-a-vis North Korea is appeasement. Once you define it that way, it's very hard to unpaint yourself, and I think that's where we are now." This interview was conducted on March 27, 2003.

She's said BUSH made a mistake by cutting off relations.

Although there was a sign of breakthrough during the last stage of the Clinton Administration, as a flurry of diplomatic efforts culminated in the unprecedented visit of Secretary of State Madeline Albright to North Korea, relations between the U.S. and North Korea nose-dived during the Bush Administration, to the lowest point in many years.
