I have not heard that this has been revealed.

Not quite as well hidden as your " publicly posted angst " at the last days of Dilawar of Yakubi.

Really hope they do reveal the contents sometime.
Slap the old Approved Diplomatic Bag Sticker (what shall we write on it today?....Dunno, the old "Printed Matter" usually works well) on it and Bob's yr Uncle...get anything through. Not at all implying the honourable DPRK with it's excellent track record would stoop to anything devious or illegal or murderous.

Whatever we might be told about the contents of the bag it is very unlikely to be the truth.

I rather like this line in the article:-

"North Korea, which is a member state of the US"

It is the Guardian they probably think the UN and the US are one and the same, which of course they are, somewhat.

What the UN does and does not - especially in the matter of redressing wrongs it has done, such as investigating and punishing thefts, rapes, murders and infecting the population of Haiti with cholera - is controlled by the main contributor to their budget: the USA.

So they are whining because somebody took away their secret bag?

Perhaps it would be better if we had merely beat these poor NK lads at JFK with rubber truncheons till they were comatose, then shipped them back to Pyongyang in a box.

Yea, yea, but it is the principles defined and agreed in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 that are being violated.

And which principles did the Norks observe when they killed that student?

FFS John, you never give up do you? Two wrongs don't make a right and, in any event the death you quoted is part and parcel of hostilities. The lad's death at the hand of the slitty-eyed conniving bastards in North Korea was because he wanted to souvenir a poster.

Do you honestly not see the difference? Or are you so blinded by your love affair with the Norks that you've actually lost your moral compass?

FFS indeed Siseman, you were the one who introduced Otto Warmbier to this discussion in an attempt of moral equivalence.

Do you think the USA and everyone else doesn't use the Bag for nefarious purposes? and OBG, do you think America would not moan under such circumstances?,

Hypocrisy or the simple feeble mindedness of the indoctrinated?

Of course we would, Bob.
But right now it's the Norkies doing the moaning. So they deserve the mocking!

SK Prez has floated the idea of joint SK, NK entries into the next winter Olys.
That'll work.
I can hear NK now - - - - - "Hah, what kind of drugs can we use to show the running dog imperialists we are naturally superior beings?"
