(CNN) -
He's a fairly young man, wearing an ill-fitting suit. His thin neck is pronounced, giving way to an equally thin face and frame. We're meeting over a meal of sushi, something he specifically requested because it's rare for those trapped in North Korea.
For his safety, I'll limit descriptions of this defector. We've agreed that I can say he worked among the elites in Pyongyang. He is by far, the most recent defector I've ever interviewed; he's only been in the free world for a year.

He’s like Billy Mumy in the Twilight Zone episode.
Well if true, that’s good ... but what comes next?
Er....you don’t want to know....
Active Duty ping.
(My new kitten stepped on my keyboard and deleted my ping list. I re-did the list mostly from memory. If you were on the list or would like to be added/removed, please freepmail me.)
Ten bucks says it’s wishful thinking.

These 'tards know nothing. My dog is truely my best friend and protector.
There were several conspiracies to kill Hitler. Most of them included old Prussian aristocrats who understood where it would all end. They did not have the broad support or guts to pull the trigger.

It’s a little difficult to believe.
Draft Dennis Rodman!
Meh...I have thought that many times, alas it never has happened. My hopes are as strong as ever, but defector Norks are people who thrived there cuz they had no problem telling their "betters" there what they wanted to hear.
They have screamed it a million times, murmured it, believed it while silently saying it.
They cross over, and they stay that same way, what is wrought from a lifetime of harrowed experience --they feel out what the new leadership, too, wants them to say. It's a way of being loyal; like a performer you detect the tune and parrot the stanzas, you survive and eek out a meager living.
I admire them for their guts in escaping, yet should we get married to their rosy predictions..?
I really WANT to, yet....
We can only hope.
There's a lot of those on TV anymore, many of them "journalists".
Hey! I wonder if those Syrian refugees can go there?!
He’s killing a lot of them and they are very practiced killers.
For your consideration...
That’s probably what South Korea would like to know.
I’d guess there will be a horrible interim period of all against all and then things will slowly improve under a successor authoritarian government.
Ha!
