State Department on North Korea

From today's press briefing via email:

QUESTION: Is there anything going on with North Korea?

MR. MCCORMACK: As -- I checked. As of 20 minutes ago, they were still in their discussions and so I can't provide any further update from the podium other than to say they're still talking. Chris, I think, talked a little bit about the one or two issues that are sticking points here. We will try to keep you up to date, George, as things develop. And obviously, if they develop in a positive way, we'll -- this round, we'll have more to say.

I don't know why, but I was expecting a little more based on what was reported here.
