Of course, what would you do if you’d just beaten the rap for involvement in Victoria’s biggest ever heroin bust.
Check out the SMH’s analysis of how North Korean sociology and a lack of prints helped some very happy North Korean sailors earn the right to return to the Workers’ Paradise as free men.

    A shit eatin’ grin indeed … until they get home that will be :D

    These lads lost 120 odd Kg of the dear leader’s finest heroin and, for all we can assume, the jewel in his naval crown. Not to mention the dangerous exposure they have had to western life and our justice system, hell if I was the little fella I’d send ‘em away for a bit of thought adjustment as well.

    P.S. - interesting approach you seem to have taken with tagging this article Robert ;).

    They wouldn’t have been allowed to handle international freight if they weren’t trusted to visit foreign ports, I imagine.

    None of our speculations are worth much, but for me, it seems to be a victory for both sides - Australia proves its mental clarity, and North Korea reclaims its innocent shipmen.

    If only we could ask the same from Guantanamo.

    A Political Officer representing the DRPK in a nan ning gu and a ajussi jamba is very poor form.
