North Korea gassing its citizens?

CBC News reports:

WASHINGTON - A human rights organization known for tracking down Nazi war criminals is taking aim at North Korea, saying the regime uses deadly nerve gas on its own citizens and may even be operating experimental gas chambers.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center sent American rabbi Abraham Cooper, the centre's associate dean, to Asia to investigate the reports, which the North Korean regime denies. [more]

Not being a student of 1940's US history, I don't claim to know what the man-on-the-street's reaction to the discovery of the atrocities in concentration camps across Germany. (That is, nobody should be surprised there are POW camps during a war, but what happened with the camp borders.) That said, it wouldn't surprise me that (a) the NorKs have political prisoners in camps, and (b) they kill the occupants of those camps, sometimes in less than humane ways (oxymoron notwithstanding). If that was documented to the nth degree, I'd shrug and say, No kidding, oh, you've got witnesses and pictures? Great. Not surprised.

Why am I so blasé about it? Inappropriately, that seems to be par for the course - nobody (I know) has a lower threshold for what the NorKs are capable of doing. Think of what you wouldn't do to your worst enemy, ask yourself if the NorKs would do it.

Would they? I'd be surprised if you could come up with something so bad that even the North Koreans wouldn't do. (Either you're one sick puppy or you have rainbow goggles on when looking across the 38th parallel.)
