Sen. Sam Brownback (R. Kansas), a long-time champion of North Korean refugees
and their human rights, gave an impassioned speech from the
Senate floor outlining his reasons for putting a hold on the
nomination of Kathleen Stephens as ambassador to South Korea.
His reasons
included her inability to satisfactorily answer his questions about
plans to help the refugees pouring out of North Korea, and
especially the estimated 400,000 citizens of that country now
being tortured and worked to death in slave
labor prison camps.
Watch
this video for a truly remarkable speech
that outlines in some detail the situation with North Korea.
