#1 I must have missed something?

I was not aware that anyone had ever discovered any signs of intelligence in any of the Kim Jong's or their associates.

#4 I have the imagery of North Korea on my computer somewhere. I took a very long look at it. There were three separate explosions - two very large ones, and a much smaller one. They were on a siding usually reserved for dumping coal. The entire area slopes down from the town to the rail line, and the explosions actually occurred at an elevation that a train passing by would be considerably lower than where the explosions originated. As an assassination attempt, it was pretty crude. As a warning, however, it might have been extremely persuasive, seeing as how anyone actually blowing up trains to kill Kim had no compunction about killing about 4300 other people at the same time. One wonders if there's been any other "warnings" we haven't heard about...

#5 Sounds like the Juche-believers are trying to sideline "apostate Kim", without wrecking the faith.

#6 Not to bring out the conspiracy nuts, but this would make sense of the Bush administration "soft words/hard position" approach to negotiations.

#7 I will wait to clear my comments with Madam Mad Albright before posting them. You know, KJong had a little thing for her.
