High-Level Scientist Confirms Human Experimentation in North Korea
A high level North Korean scientist who escaped to South Korea two years ago said he witnessed the North Korean government conducting chemical experiments on political prisoners, and human rights groups say his claims are reliable, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

As the scientists and guards watched, said the chemist, the experiment was conducted on each subject separately. The chamber had bright lights, a speaker system that allowed observers to clearly hear the prisoners' screams, and a nozzle for spraying the chemicals at the subject.

Defectors Tell of Cannibalism, Torture, Lost Families
Lee attempted to defect in October 1993, but was arrested by North Korean authorities and subjected to extreme torture. Afterward, he spent four years at Yodeok Political Prison Camp. He told of how starving inmates would catch snakes, frogs, and mice, and eat them in their entirety -- snake skin, mice fur, guts and all. He testified that while he was at Yodeok, there was a prisoner who was charged with having salt in his pocket. The guards killed the man by chaining his ankles to a car and dragging him until the flesh from his head and back had been stripped off.

I've got to tell you, Real Reality, (Jeez, I feel like I'm thanking a sponsor for a dose of Reality) the first link's reading haunts me like nothing I've read in a LONG time! Worse than any tame horror movie, closer to the bone than anything. There are 'hell realms' here on earth where the worst is possible and exceeded for further impact!

If only North Korea was full of OIL.... then maybe George bush would go in and rescue the starving, tortured, malnourished, dying, freezing, people of north korea.....

I guess if there is nothing there to make a profit on... (and expand the billion-dollar bush family & friends enterprises) then it won't happen????

Very sad and kinda hypocritical to me....
