understand the nuances of language and the north koreans are very adept at conveying messages, many times between with the lines. but as a long-time watcher of north korea and what they say, i think they do understand the diplomatic language and they get the message. your former colleague, defense secretary leon panetta, from the obama administration, said that the united states is facing the most dangerous situation since the cuban missile crisis. do you agree? i m not sure that it s reached that magnitude. i lived through the tree-cutting incident in 1976. i was air force intelligence officer at pacific command headquarters and that s when some north korean soldiers went into the dmz and killed some americans. exactly. killed two american soldiers. and i ve again, comparing that episode with this, i think the imminence of war feeling was
