Starving N. Korean soldier reportedly flees to South
A North Korean soldier believed to be in his late teens defected to the South on Monday by sneaking across the border that divides the two Koreas, an official at South Korea's Ministry of National Defense said.
The soldier purportedly told officers in the South that he had defected to avoid the repeated beatings doled out by his superiors at home.
An opposition lawmaker said during a parliamentary hearing that upon taking the North Korean soldier into custody, South Korean troops cooked the starving man some ramen noodles rather than grilling him for useful intelligence.
"Once the North Korean soldier defected, the troops should have immediately interrogated him or passed him over to other units. But they instead cooked ramen for him in the barracks," Rep. Jeong Cheong-rae, of the main opposition party, was quoted as saying by South Korea's Yonhap news agency. "When I asked if this was an appropriate action to take, they said he looked very hungry and so they cooked for him."

Seems to me that ramen noodles might get at least as much intelligence out of him as a full-on interrogation. :whistling:

They fed him before they grilled him??
