Reply #4: Bushco thinks they can get info out of him re N Korea's nuclear weapons?

more from article:
He could provide the United States with valuable information on the reclusive Communist nation, which Washington accuses of having a nuclear weapons program.

Baker would not confirm that Jenkins was definitely coming to Japan. He said he understood the American needs "an abdominal operation."

"This man is in terrible shape," Baker said. "His health circumstances are really barely short of extreme and I have no doubt that he's in need of skillful medical attention."

Baker said that while "the U.S. government is sympathetic to his health concerns," he is "still classified as a deserter and when we can gain custody of him, he will be charged."


What are they going to do... withhold medical treatment until he coughs up the info they want? I highly doubt that Mr. Jenkins is privy to NK state secrets. I guess this is to scare the current military members, seeing that Bushco doesn't take AWOL/desertion lightly (unless, of course your name is Bush), and will hunt you down and prosecute to the end of time.
