In one of your previous website posts, you mention that the view of North Korea is distorted by focusing on the military parades, news stories with unverified sources, and defectors who lie to get money. You seem to want to show that these are still people like you and me which I think is important. What latest stories have you seen that had been misleading the general public about North Korea? What would you choose to be ciricital about with regards to North Korea?

I would agree that this recent news about the general is a large mistep my South Korean intelligence. Though, this past 12 months has had many North Korean officials killed. The information was in keeping with what had been a current trend. I think that a more open North Korea would certainly make it easier to back up claims. My worry is that many would still be found true.

So what about human rights violations? Do you not think that is something North Korea need to address? Or has this too been largely misinterpreted? From your statement about defectors it sounds as though you think they may be embellishing.
