Anyway, thanks for the relay of some ‘vetting criteria’, and yes, will also use only my ‘new’ name when posting here.

The difficult balance you’ve got to strike here is knowing what to believe and disbelieve when independent confirmation is generally impossible. Here’s the framework on which I operate:

1. Is the allegation generally credible and consistent with other known facts?

2. Do the circumstances of the evidence for the allegation lend themselves to easy fabrication?

3. Is there a personal or financial motive for the witness to fabricate the evidence?

If the evidence has a net positive balance after I apply all of those tests and the proof is still imperfect — it usually is — I will draw an adverse inference against the party that has and refuses to disclose information that could confirm or rebut the allegation. More often than not, that party is the North Korean regime, which incredibly denies that torture and concentration camps even exist in the Workers’ Paradise.

Unfortunately, it’s often just as impossible to say that something is fake as it is to say it’s genuine.

The first bit is – I am sure – familiar to most, though there is also another interrogation on here which I have not seen before. Perhaps of interest.

I am not a frequent poster on this forum though allow me to use my real name from now on instead of my previous nickname TellTell.

Josh, please check your email, just sent you something you may be interested in.

That is the kind of thing I’ve been hoping to see become more and more common on the Internet to get the North Korea Human Rights info out.

I’m glad to see they gave you the embed code and permission. At least on the You Tube page, it says they blocked embeding without permission. I haven’t tried to embed it on my blog, because I get little traffic.
