North Korea's Gulags
Even babies aren't spared from Pyongyang's regime of torture and murder.
The latest hallucination of geopolitics has it that if only we can make North Korea's Great Leader Kim Jong Il feel safe from the fate of Saddam Hussein, maybe he'll stop testing missiles and making nuclear bombs.

Duct tape will not protect you against nuclear attack
U.S. Guide Highlights Terrorism Myths and Facts
Forget the duct tape, the gas masks, home radiation detectors, potassium iodide pills and parachutes as protection from a "dirty bomb" or chemical or biological attack.
