Really!? I must have missed that.
Madeline Albright said she found "amazing" the pageant she watched in Pyongyang alongside North Korean leader Kim Jong II. We found it amazing, too, but not for the same reason. We were amazed that the Secretary of State would allow herself to be photographed, smiling as 100,000 essentially enslaved laborers performed for her and one of the world's most repressive dictators. Secretary Albright clinked champagne glasses with Mr. Kim; she found him to be "very decisive and practical and serious". But about the nation's 150,000 political prisoners she had no comment... her silence on this repression diminished US credibility, not only in North Korea but in less threatening countries where the administration chooses to speak, more openly, concerning human rights. - Wa Po editorial
