Kim's bad behavior earns media spotlight

DateTuesday, July 21, 2009 at 12:09AM

ARTICLE: Outside world turns blind eye to N. Korea gulag, By Blaine Harden, Washington Post, July 20, 2009

One nice byproduct of the recent bad behavior by Kim's regime is that stories like these are temporarily green-lighted by the mainstream media.

My question is why we play this is such a timid manner. THe one quote about the NKs getting crazy when the camps are mentioned in debates seems perfect, let them get pissed off. What is the real concern - nukes lobbed at Seoul or the millions of refugees after the regieme collapses?
