One thought that sometimes occurs to me is that Burma's regime is far less insular than North Korea's, and yet it persists. But of course, people in Burma are at least eating. Please elaborate.

The question is, how have we addressed this "revelation"? Most disturbing still is Blaine Harden's fleeting reference to the "political prison camps" with an underestimate of those generations of families that have perished over the past decades - how can the media be so "silent" about these concentration camps, especially the human experimention, gas chambers, and Camp no. 22! We all know by now that certain North Korean officials from the DPRK regime were literally shaking with fear when they met a defector who had survived camp no. 14, to tell the US about the horrors, reminiscent of WWII. The highest-ranking North Korean official who defected in 2002-2003 said that the way to successfully deal with the DPRK is to use the exposure of the network of death camps concealed by the DPRK (concealed just as Nazi Germany did during WWII). We have the satellite technology with a resolution of a few feet – we should use it before it’s too late.
