Naw, can’t be! We all saw pics of him looking quite spry out inspecting the troops on a cool autumn day surrounded by green spring-like flora and fauna.

Kim is ill and will be ceding power to his brother, Raul Jong-il.

Here's something not discussed in last nights thread:

"Professor Shigemura's contacts have told him that a family of high-ranking North Korean diplomats have defected and are seeking asylum. 'I understand that they were based in China but that they may have got to the United States,' he said. 'At the moment, the North Korean authorities are trying to find them but also want to stop any others from defecting.' "

I’ll give these guys one thing, they can sure keep a secret. Comes from not having Colin Powell in on it, I guess.
