Kim Jong-Il, Toyota, and Amnesty International

07/10/2006

Kim Jong-il's missile launchings last week brought our own Jerrold Post (Leaders and their Followers in a Dangerous World) back into the limelight with his in-depth psychological insights on the North Korean leader .  He was seen on CNN's Paula Zahn NOW, ABC's Washington Week in Review, and his interview with Al Hunt on Bloomberg News was broadcast every hour on the hour for the entire weekend, featuring the cover of the book each time.
Here's a sample of what he had to say about the enigmatic despot:
