These photos have been out for months!
Other NK defector eyewitness sketches and accounts have been out for years in the form of documentaries, books, lectures, Asian language websites!
This information has been on S. Korean and Japanese TV in great details for years.
And yet, because North Korea is finally an issue (the US media and US people are brain dead about it for years leading up to it), this is 'some big new discovery and revelation on US TV.' Now thanks to NBC's week long 'expose' on North Korea, we are all supposed to be surprised and poised on the end of our seats in America for some flow of new information? Hogwash. This has bee known for years, has been in Congressional hearings, is all over the internet. (Where have the major US TV networks and the audiences they served been for the last 10 years?)
For pete's sake, the "NBC" photos were taken from the Far East Economic Review several months back.
Just confirms my impression that US media is so LATE and so SURFACE when it comes to reporting anything about Asia and in particular, North Korea.
Best for Freepers to get automatic Korean to English or Japanese to English software, and rely on the MEDIA IN ASIA if they want timely and detailed information to follow events.
Actually, this "new" enemy is remarkably similar to one we fought some 60 years ago.
I almost can't believe these accounts are true. Were it not for the fact that we saw this kind of behavior last century, I wouldn't believe it at all.
If we ever do go to war against North Korea, I will make every effort to get myself there ASAP. Though I imagine I would probably be incarcerated after the hostilities ended, as I would have no mercy on any NK commanders, camp commandants, or political officers I came across.
