I wonder how she can substantiate the claim that “Koreans are the largest minorety group without access to health care,” What exactly does she mean by that?

She also seems to praise the “Juche,” philosophy. Correct me if I am wrong, but I heard that the guy who came up with “Juche,” defected a few years ago.

I’m not convinced that the people in Washington are listening to her though. It certainly isn’t helpful that this lady is going around talking about the extent to which North Korea was bombed, the DOD already knows that and has record, but giving an ear to these people can be used to gain their trust and to potentially route out any subversives. So just becuase people might be having lunch with Ahn, doesn’t mean that she is writing policy.

“But because Japanese industrial investments during the colonial period were mostly made in what is now North Korea rich in natural resouces.”

Bingo!

It’s a well-known fact to boot, so clearly someone doesn’t know what she is talking about.

Lee and foflappy get it quite right: Noone is listening to these people. The EBE article wrongly suggests that one non-partisan study advocating measured engagement with North Korea was influenced by the statrs of Wentz’ article. If I were the authors of that study I would issue a clarification. I don’t get the Frankenstein analogy, though.
