It is reported that the troubled U.S. GI - Travis King - who escaped into North Korea has been handed over to U.S. authorities via China. I presume he will be shipped home in irons, and subsequently found too unstable to stand trial.
Had he behaved himself he probably could have made a decent life there as their racially advantageous spokesperson. It seemed likely he might be released when the Norks discovered he was too troubled to make a useful propaganda tool for the DPRK, as his inability to control impulses has been evident.
So the DPRK passed the "hot potato" back to us to deal with.
