The reason for that is during the years of the D.J. Kim government and the Roh government, they actually banned information to be reported about what was going on in North Korea because they had the sunshine policy, which is basically an engagement policy.

I mean, I was telling, or in conversations, conveying information about what I had read and what I had learned from hearings and from defectors...

What has happened, though, is--oh, she was going to speak before them, okay. And they can share that with you. But what happened is with the provocations that have happened against South Korea by North Korea, unprovoked attacks, there has been an awakening in South Korea.

It is almost like a sense of disbelief as to the scope and the cruelty of Kim Jong Il.

I really think that we have an opportunity now to focus on improving the flow of information to North Korea.

Christians and people of faith are even more selected out for repression especially, and women who are pregnant are often forcibly aborted in an absolutely crude.

I think it is very significant that President Obama has made it very clear that his special envoy, Robert King, will be part of all discussions and negotiation on North Korea.

I have asked the administration in hearings and through other means to put China on Tier III for human trafficking.

North Korea uses food as a weapon against its own people, and they have an apartheid system in North Korea where people are classified based on loyalty to the regime.

I was one of the cosponsors of that bill. Jim Leach was the prime sponsor. It was an excellent bill.

They are using food as a weapon--talking about the dictatorship--against their own people. They are committing genocide, and I think we have to care.
