Kim!

This is coolbert:

There has been a lot of speculation over the years regarding the North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. Psychoanalysis done from afar. "Experts", including those from the CIA, have supposedly pored over open source and "secret" material in an attempt to "understand" the dictator and what makes him tick.

This sort of thing was done with Adolf Hitler. With mixed results. It seems that a lot of the source material for Hitler came from a man who had a reputation as a blackmailer. A man who would create "stories" to discredit a famous individual. Consider that if the source is poor, the result will be poor too. This is easily understandable. Garbage in = garbage out [GIGO].

As I have said, a lot of this sort of psychoanalysis done from afar has been applied to the North Korean dictator. And evidently persons at the highest level of government, such as Secretatry of State Albright, have been briefed on such analysis prior to meeting with Kim. Albright even mentioned that this was so. Also mentioned that what she had been told was at ODDS with what the true nature of Kim was. She was surprised.

In the aftermath of the nuke detonation by the north, this sort of analysis has become rife. "Experts" of all sorts are making their analysis known. With lurid headlines to boot.

Consider these news items hot off the presses [the internet actually]:
