A deal has been reached with North Korea

But Bolton says that it's not a good deal:

North Korea has tentatively agreed to close down its nuclear weapons program in exchange for energy aid, U.S. and Chinese officials said Tuesday.
But the proposed deal was being reviewed by officials in the negotiators' capitals before becoming final.
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, the lead American official at the talks, said the United States will give an unspecified amount of energy assistance to North Korea in exchange for North Korea freezing its production of plutonium. (Watch what North Korea is demanding )
Hill said negotiators are running the agreement by their capitals and would reconvene later Tuesday.
"We feel it's an excellent, excellent draft," Hill said. "I don't think we are the problem."
But John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and onetime chief of the State Department's arms-control division, called the reported draft "a very bad deal."
It makes the Bush administration "look very weak, at a time in Iraq and dealing with Iran that it needs to look strong," Bolton told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Monday.
"I'm hoping that the president has not been fully briefed on it and still has time to reject it," he said.
