Here are two broadband media clips of Japanese TV earlier tonight showing the very interesting US Senate testimony with these hooded/disguised North Korean defectors.

First video stream is "TBS TV" and second stream is "Yomiuri TV". Although in Japanese, the visuals briefly will show what is going on. One videoclip ends with footage of Bush on the USS Lincoln, saying the USA is apparantly putting up with no further nonsense from Kim Jong-il and North Korea.

Cut and paste and watch (less than 1 minute per video).

(These streams may only last a day or too.)

"But, in the case of North Korea, it appears the government is the criminal."

LOL...you think??

"North Korea must be the only country on earth to run a drug production-trafficking business, on a state level," he said.

Cuba runs a drug trafficking business at the government level. Nicaragua under the Sandanistas did as well. It would probably be worth looking at some parts of the Mexican goverment, too. Just a thought...

RE #1

I believe that Japan will shut down all money conduits and trade to N. Korea, except foods. That is what Bush and Koizumi could talk about. That would be a big blow, if not decisive, to N. Korea.

All source of earning or getting hard currencies will be shut down eventually, one way or another. Now that could be a decisive blow.
