TJWELCH, if you can't properly spell the word "analyst" then I very much doubt you have had the education to actually become one.

Reply to this commentAs a former imagery analyst with leadership experience in that very country, this does not surprise me one bit. It is highly plausible. TJ, there are certainly better sources or products available for analysis, but his image is extremely similar to what we produced in my time on the ROK back in 2003.

Reply to this commentGentlemen - while interesting and possible the imagery from DIGITALGLOBE (which is the source cited) for the date indicated is not the same as in the article, nor does it show the purported equipment

Reply to this commentThe imagery released is never of the highest quality available to the intelligence community. Released images are always downgraded for public consumption. As a former imagery annalist, the images, backup on the ground sources for the story. In this case the facts strongly support the story.

also he NIS chief also told the lawmakers that the agency also believes that North Korea used a firing squad in March to execute four senior members of the Unhasu Orchestra, a Pyongyang music and performing arts troupe. HOW COME THE FOUR MEMERS ARE STILL ALIVE!
