American in Tokyo

is a beloved FREEPER . . . He's virtually always quite accurate and well informed re his facts. He tends to be more gracious than not. He has a big heart. He is tirelessly responsible.

It appears that it might be a stretch to measure up to his standard for a number of folks.

I, for one, hope that respect and charity are extended to him for his many services to FR by way of his astute and informed perspective on that region of the world for the rest of FR.

I suggest, before you include me in your reply that you read his response to my post.

Thank you. I have had a short temper a bit these days, though. Sorry.

By the way, here are some photos of stuff seized by the Japanese from North Korean agents who had infiltrated Japan in the past, including the actual transport vessel they sunk after a ferocious gun battle .

Note the spy equipment (coding sheets):

Anyone with a decent AM radio tuner in downtown Tokyo can turn on 657khz at night and hear Radio Pyongyang broadcasting the instructions into Japan right in the open...reading the code for the agents in place.

Some of the agents are no doubt trained in the placement of WMD, such as sarin or VX gas, or other forms of sabotage and confusion.
