“Hundreds of prisoners die there each week, the victims of biological or chemical experiments to test out [chemical and biological] weapons for North Korea’s CBW arsenal,” claims an MI6 report. In one intelligence file is the allegation that newborn babies are taken from their mothers and injected with biological agents or given injections of chemicals that blister the skin, leaving huge keloids, the sores seen on the bodies of Hiroshima victims.

Caveat: I’m lukewarm on WorldNetDaily as a source, but would consider MI6 to be the best we could hope to do under the circumstances. The report also appears to be based on one person’s testimony, although I’m not sure how realistic it is to expect corroboration. It’s also the first I’ve heard of biowar experiments on babies or underground labs at that site, but reports of systematic baby-killing or gas chambers in North Korea (watch the BBC documentary here) have been out there, alleged by multiple witnesses, for years. Substantial evidence suggests that North Korea systematically starved millions of its own people to death. That means that this latest report, while not within the constellation of our few known facts about Camp 22, doesn’t push North Korea’s depravity envelope, either.

The best way to resolve these questions would obviously be to allow an impartial investigator full access to the site. Absent that, I’ll presume what other known facts tell me: that this regime has something hideous to hide at Camp 22.

Big, big hat tip to the Nomad for this one.
