Clearly what was done was with the connivance of the government. Otherwise there would have been no pardon, and ESPECIALLY NOT a pardon so quickly.

Just as clearly, the Paks have done what Bush says the North Koreans did. GWB demonizes North Korea, glamorizes the Paks.

However, Bush, and you and I by association, are in bed with that military dictator, no matter how much GWB touts "democracy". He ain't gonna push it very hard.

The tipoff was the quick "pardon". About that GWB said he certainly wasn't going to interfere with the internal affairs of another country.

Jay Leno couldn't have made that up with David Letterman's help.
