#1 My guess is that they closed the political Prisoner cities (not camps) near the border because it was too easy for prisoners and guards to defect across the border and make their way to South Korea - to kimmie-boy's embarrassment.

#2 There's going to be a lot of face to lose for the government of China when North Korea finally collapses (or worse, explodes in a blaze of ~~glory~~ evil).

#5 "I thought Kimmie threatened to execute local leaders if anyone died of starvation."

Goodness! Look at the heart attack rate in NorK! They must have some very unhealthy eating habits. Perhaps Mrs. Bambi can go over there and ~~set them straight~~ exhort eating healthy food.

Probably a lot of "they just wandered off and probably fell into an old mineshaft/the sea/a pack of wolves"...
