This def helps his case in court, publicizing this story only exacerbates claims of his imminent assassination if he were to go abroad.

His first mistake was going to 60 minutes. Geezus lady, want him to reveal his sources so North Koreans can find them? Unbelievable.

I don’t understand the interviewer’s judgemental attitude here. Her manner is making this hard to watch. He’s handling the whole thing a lot better than I would in his situation. This is a prime example of how not to do journalism. I expected more, 60 Minutes.

Why are you questioning him so thoroughly? It seems to me this interview could put his life further in jeapardy.
