I just read the report as well. My God, if it is true...
If this were Auschwitz, people would be screaming mad. Why aren't they doing so now?
CNN did a report on this last year, and played it repeatedly. Somebody snuck some video film out of NK showing massacres and mass starvation. I think the lack of outcry is because it has been going on for a long time - expectations are already as low as they can get.
