SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea acknowledged Tuesday it had detained an American for illegally entering the reclusive country, news welcomed by relatives of an Arizona missionary who feared they would never hear from him again after he sneaked across the border.
Whaaaaa? A country nabbed an illegal alien who is hostile to their regime? Unthinkable!!
Activists say they last saw Robert Park as he slipped across the frozen Tumen River into North Korea on Christmas Day, carrying letters urging the country's absolute leader to step down and free the hundreds of thousands of people held in political camps.
Whaaaa? You mean this guy was an "activist?" I don't know about you but when I hear the word "activists," I think "pushy meddlesome jackasses (without all the facts) who deserve severe punishment for breaking the law." So, whaddya know, in this case justice might be served.
"My fear was that they say they don't know anything about it and may get rid of him secretly," Manchul Cho, an uncle of Park, told The Associated Press in California.
Cho, a Los Angeles psychiatrist, said he hopes North Korea will deport Park, a devout Christian, noting that a long incarceration would only galvanize critics of the communist regime.
Tsk, tsk ... those "devout Christians." Well, at least he wasn't wearing bomb-y type underwear. My guess is the North Koreans would have helped him set if off. We have much to learn from them.
