A little hard to read but here it is anyway:

Also, it seems they might cut a deal with those pilots and crew if they spill the beans on who they worked with, and help them trace the route. This would be interesting, the connection between North Korean official companies such as Air Koryo which is a party to international agreements, and internal black weapons dealers in the Ukraine, and then the final (assumed) destination of Iran.

Also, this:

Crew of plane carrying North Korean arms may face death sentence--The Kazakh and Belarusian crew of a plane caught transporting arms from North Korea may face the death penalty, a Thai paper said on Wednesday, citing police. The Il-76 cargo plane, carrying about 40 tons of weaponry, was seized after landing for refueling at Bangkok's Don Muang airport on December 12. Officials said the weapons included missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. The paper quoted a senior police official as saying that the crew would be charged with the illegal possession of explosives, punishable by "from two years to death." The plane's five crew members, one Belarus national and four Kazakhs, were taken to Bangkok's Klong Prem Central Prison after their arrest. The Bangkok Post quoted investigators as saying the crew were planning to offload part of their cargo in Sri Lanka and the Middle East. However, the suspects reportedly refused to name the buyers or locations. The plane's Belarusian commander earlier said that the plane had flown from Ukraine, and claimed that neither he nor the other crewmembers knew of the military nature of the cargo.

This news will be quashed in the US because it will show that North Korea does not adhere to international agreements or sanctions related to it. At a time that Obama is being heralded with writing a letter to Kim Jong il carried there on the appeasement mission last week by Stephen Bosworth, and that the State Department is still continuing on its inherently faulty premise that a deal with North Korea can be struck by which they will adhere to it.At the very moment of going into these appeasing US-NK talks to get "agreement" North Korea clearly violates MAJOR AGREEMENTS in the the face of the whole world community by slipping up and having discovered this air cargo shipment route of international black weapons--to Iran probably no doubt and then maybe destined to kill our men in the field, or at least to attack Israel.

Therefore, the Obama agenda to appease will be screwed, if the US media takes this up in earnest and if the US Congress (Republicans at least) question the current INSANITY of the National Security Council, State Department and White House regarding "dealing" with Kim Jong il.

The perfect timing of this high-visibility Thai Airport "bust" is very bad for the Obamanoids and Foggy Bottom. Very bad.
