From CNN: Former NBA star Dennis Rodman arrived in North Korea on Thursday, the country's state-run media reported.
Rodman was there for his latest round of controversial "basketball diplomacy" in a country ruled by one of the world's most repressive regimes.
The former player and a documentary crew were scheduled to spend four days helping to train a team of North Korean basketball players for a January exhibition in Pyongyang.
That January 8 exhibition -- said to be against a yet-unannounced team of former NBA players -- will celebrate the birthday of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom Rodman has called a friend and a "very good guy" despite international condemnation of the country's human rights records. http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/19/world/asia/north-korea-dennis-rodman/
North Korea has held several Americans over the years, including an 85 year old in the past month.
So, maybe we can bribe North Korea to hold Rodman hostage and my guess is that there would be no hurry by the United States to get him back.
And let's see how well Rodman likes North Korea after that.
