U.S. Intelligence "Kim Jong-il Recuperating"

Washington = Lee Hawon

We are told on Sept. 10 that, according to U.S. Intelligene, N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il had trouble with his health recently but is now recuperating.

A senior official at U.S. administration reportedly said, "Regarding the allegation of Kim's health trouble, we can tell you that Kim recently had health problems, but is recovering now."

U.S. Intelligence is closely monitoring everything related to Kim's health, and analyzing the information on his health trouble via various channels.

Another figure at the administration said, "It is highly unusual that Kim Jong-il missed the celebration of 60th Anniversary of N. Korea's founding. We are closely watching the situation on his health problem."

How does North Korean surgery work these days, anyway? As I understand it, they fasten Dong-Il to a granite slab outside with iron stakes, then wait for him ti be struck by lightning while somber organ music plays.
