Did you read the report in the Australian press last month about a covert mission to facilitate the defection of N. Korean scientists and military leaders?  It was reported to be a plan code-named, "Operation Weasel" When it was reported, it was strongly denied by everyone involved, but this story makes it sound like it is for real and ongoing.

RE #12

It is true. There were at least three different sources who confirmed it after the initial report from Australia. Norbert Vollertsen, the German human right activist, Michael Horowitz of Hudson Institute in Washington D.C., a Reuter article carried in NYT about military defectors from N. Korea. I believe all their accounts to come from the same operation.
