Some of the claims in this article are rebutted by the book A Kim Jong Il Production (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Kim-Jong-Il-Production-Extraordinary-Kidnapped&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1250054265" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Kim-Jong-Il-Production-Extraordinary-K...</a>), an excellent read.  There is a lengthy discussion on how the book was sourced and a dedication to fact-checking and information accuracy.  In it, they describe how many people inside actually do recognize their situation and how they&#x27;re forced to act against how they feel.  The crying at Kim Jong Il&#x27;s funeral, in particular, is addressed and the book mentions how North Koreans that didn&#x27;t look sincere enough in their grief faced punishment.
