All, I have found a photograph reportedly released by ë…¸ë™ì‹ ë¬¸ of Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong-Un.

Here’s the link: http://i0.ig.com/fw/30/re/l0/30rel01uttn5gr0moi5tiwqi3.jpg

Too much profanity. Sonagi has had the same problem in the past.

But I won’t clean up my potty mouth. It’s sort of my “man in black” burden.

Theresa, I used the same link as you posted. The $228.00 was the most expensive new book out of the 8 listed. $98.88 is the most expensive used book and yes they are coming from booksellers, not the author.

“Iâ€™m always a bit dismayed that people responsible for mass deaths have become icons of the anti-Pyongyang right. “

Icons? I wouldn’t go that far.

But that’s me.

It’s a good read because it goes into detail about one person’s story from beginning to end- how one can be brainwashed from birth to the point where he/she can carry out such a horrible mission.

I dunno. I think anyone can become susceptible to brainwashing.

Lisa Ling told me herself that she’s donating her proceeds of Somewhere Inside (which I’m still getting through, Glans, but grad school readings take precedence) to various worthy charities, and now that you mention it, I seem to recall the proceeds of her book being given away, but do you have a link or other evidence to substantiate that?

Even if it’s true, though, I don’t know how enthusiastic I’d be about reading it. If the official version of KAL 858 is correct, then it boils down to a self-serving “I’m so sorry I killed 115 people” tome, perhaps one that ROK intelligence tainted or directed for their own ends. (And if KAL 858 isn’t really what it’s made out to be… then it’s just a propaganda piece, but I won’t go there).

With Hwang Jang-yop and Kim Hyonhui now that she’s taken up the cause of the Japanese abductees, I’m always a bit dismayed that people responsible for mass deaths have become icons of the anti-Pyongyang right.

Give me Kang Cholhwan any day.

Eh?

http://www.amazon.com/Tears-Soul-Hyun-Hee-Kim/dp/0688128335

Available from these sellers:

8 new from $52.59
17 used from $10.88
4 collectible from $31.00

And most likely the sellers that are selling a book published in 1993 are not the author.

In any event, it does give fascinating detail about how NK trains their spies.

So you don’t recommend buying the Amazon list price $228.83 plus shipping “Tears of My Soul”.

“I have not read Kim HyÅnhÅiâ€™s book (anyone whoâ€™s heard or read my take that Lings, Lees, Parks, and Gomeses shouldnâ€™t be profiting from their foolish acts”

That’s too bad because Kim Hyun Hee’s book is a great read and goes into great detail about her spy training.

I am not sure what you mean by “profiting”- are you talking money? The book proceeds were to go to the families of the victims- not that it makes up for murder. How would she have profited?
