1. Not clear...

but I have heard interviews with his former teaching colleagues in S. Korea who suggest it might have been less than an innocent step over the border-- not suggesting he was spying or anything official, but that he might have had some thought of "helping" those oppressed in some way or another.

4. that's what i want to know, one of the articles on google was

suggesting that he was on a mission from god.

8. It is people like you that make me question why do I spend my time

on DU. The only reason you are here is to start an argument. You have nothing positive to to add to this community.

9. Given the track record

of the North Koreans over the last 60 years, VMI Dem has a point that a prudent person, particularly a USian should not even get close to the border.
