Doesn't matter whether Hospital bed or Master bedroom so long Kim is alive and running his country.

What does Aso actually know about this? I sincerely doubt he has been privy to some exclusive information that nobody else has had which he has chosen to share with the world. When it comes to NK-Japan relations, it's always a "he said", "she said" situation where you know both parties are likely to be bending the truth.

Even if it were highly classified information Japanese have no problem disclosing it to the world. Recent disclosures have set precident.

I wonder if the doctor considered his Hipocratic oath (if they have that in France?). Giving medical care to keep a dicator responsible for millions of starvation deaths and countless murders alive seems to be almost criminal. Think about it, if you were a doctor would you have treated Hitler just for some cash?

NuckinFutz - but you could say that against any criminal. Should a doctor refuse treatment to someone because he has committed a crime, no matter how serious or petty?

I'm sure Aso is still running the country of Japan when he is in the toilet.

"Fire some more morphine at the traitors in South Korea, and hit me up with a Taepodong while you're at it - wait, that's not right..."

Yeah, a mental hospital. He seems to be walking with a Thorazine shuffle quality lately.

I saw a photo of Kim "NUDE" on youtube... username "frachheadkim"~

...sorry to hear he is sick though!

Can the North Koreans let everyone know 'exactly' where he is so we can send him a get well card?

Here in Tokyo, I have hundreds of North Koreans living in my neighborhood, and actually they seem to be behaving a bit differently latetly. If anybody knows what is going on in North Korea, I think it would most likely be the North Koreans themselves?
