North Korea calls Rumsfeld illiterate psychopath
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/030927/325/e9l54.html

"It is not likely at all that he would speak truth as he is obsessed with wantonly harassing peace and security in different parts of the world and igniting wars. His outbursts, therefore, cannot be construed otherwise than a desperate shrill cry of a psychopath on his death bed."

Hey North Korea, can we quote you on that? :)

11. It's a little comforting when they're personal like this
like when they called John Bolton "human scum."

Aside from it being true, it's also much better they talk like this instead of saying things like "death to America."

12. Hm, North Korea is busy today
I just posted to a blog which said that "Bush is stupid". But that was a quote from Kim Jong Il, so maybe this is a different department of North Korean Public Relations.

It's safe to say they're pissed. I think it's interesting that they've focused their anger on 2 people, Bush and Rumsfeld. I recall before the war in Iraq, Hussein & Co. said something to the effect that "Bush and Rumsfeld are dogs", "Rumsfeld is an unholy dog, who should be kicked".

Interesting that world opinion seems to hang its anger on 2 people, when really only one of those was instrumental.

13. North Korea is apparently obsessed with literacy.
after learning that they have the highest literacy rate in Asia, this comment seems to me like being illiterate is really an insult for North Koreans.
