SEOUL - Brokers here are busily selling what they call "planned escapes" from North Korea.
Given enough money, the brokers say, they can now get just about anyone out of the dictatorial Stalinist state that human rights activists call the world's largest prison.
A low-budget escape through China via Thailand to Seoul, which requires treacherous river crossings, arduous travel on foot and several miserable weeks in a Thai immigration jail, can cost less than $2,000, according to four brokers here.
A first-class defection, complete with a forged Chinese passport and an airplane ticket from Beijing to Seoul, goes for more than $10,000. From start to finish, it can take as little as three weeks.

Does it come with a “money back guarantee?”
Oops, if you are dead, it may be hard to remit back your receipt for a refund.
Hmm, there's an idea.
I wonder how Coyote translates into Korean?
You know you have problems when attempting to emigrate is illegal.
Why would they want to leave a Communist Paradise and such a wonderful, benevolent leader?

The negotiations that our traitorous foggy bottom is conducting will attempt (again) to provide diplomatic cover for financial (and other) incentives whose purpose and result will be to prop-up the dictatorship before the country implodes.
That was the purpose of their nuclear blackmail, since the 1990s and Clinton/Carter/Halfbright went to their rescue. Now Condi, under the sway of her mentors at foggy bottom, is attempting the same feat.
Apparently Clinton/Carter and now Bush have a problem with the legitimate implosion of an immoral dictatorship.
Good post.
$12,000 is a small sum for freedom.
But the world has turned its back on this travisty to long.
