The new movie about Japanese abductee Megumi Yokota looks to be an interesting treatment of her case. Next to Hitomi Soga, who gained fame as the wife of US Army deserter Charles Jenkins, Yokota is the abductee who's received the most publicity. Her family has been very vocal in its demands that the Japanese government use all diplomatic means possible to find out what happened to her and the other abductees who are still unaccounted for. There's been little development on the issue lately, but those who are interested in the push and pull over the last few years can click the category button below to see some of the news items that have appeared.

BTW, that is an act of war. Unless there are other circumstances?
I have long maintained that the likes of NorK should be dealt with but most of the world lacks the b-lls to do so. And why should the US be the police for the world? All it ever earns us is vilification. Nuts to that. Time to let the world clean itself up.
One of those things makes you go, Hmm!

The Megumi Yokota case is particularly poignant because of the way her poor parents have been jerked around. A few years ago, the DPRK sent a box of "her remains" to Japan that turned out not even to be all bones from the same person, for instance.
