So what happened to you once James got back to Dolphin? You sat tight on shore?

Hi John - long-time admirer. You were nearly a victim of a friendly fire incident in Iraq which tragically and unnecessarily killed 18 of the people you were travelling with. As you've pointed out several times, there was no proper inquiry afterwards.

Looking at it more broadly, do you think the US and UK have generally failed to atone for their roles in Iraq, from the use of white phosphorous to the abuses at military prisons? What do you think were the most egregious breaches of human rights by western militaries in that war, and what do you think should be done about it?

Do normal North Koreans think that some people deserve to go to labour camps?

Wow. Mindy must be your guardian angel. Great story.

Living in North Korea, were you aware of prison camps? If not, do you believe they exist?

In documentaries I've seen, N Koreans regularly blame America for their powercuts. Was this a show for the cameras, or do the common people generally blame America for their government's poor economic policy?

Did you ever hear anyone say anything bad about a party official, and if so was any action taken?

Were you ever aware of any organized resistance?
