Pyongyang, North Korea
Rodman defends dictator: Former NBA star Dennis Rodman went further than ever this week in his defense of the Stalinist North Korean regime, which starves its people and runs slave labor camps. Rodman, leading a team of former NBA players to play an exhibition game, sang “Happy Birthday” and bowed to dictator Kim Jong Un, whom he called his “best friend.” When asked by CNN whether he would try to free American missionary Kenneth Bae, imprisoned in 2012 after a closed trial, Rodman said, “Do you understand what he did in this country?” The comment appalled Bae’s family. “He clearly doesn’t know anything about Kenneth, about his case,” said Terri Chung, Bae’s sister. “This isn’t some game. This is about a person’s life.”
