Otto Warmbier went to North Korea 17 months ago and was taken captive.<\/p>\n

The North Koreans released the young student just the other day. Warmbier, though, came home in a coma. He was non-responsive. We have no clue how he became comatose.<\/p>\n

Then he died. It’s a tragedy of enormous proportions for the young man’s family.<\/p>\n

Warmbier’s death also should present the rest of his countrymen and women with a terrible quandary. Just how does the United States respond to this? How do U.S. spooks get to the truth in a nation infamous for its secrecy, its cultish leadership and the kooks who call the shots?<\/p>\n

Otto Warmbier’s death <\/a>requires some answers. How we get those answers from a hyper-secretive government is going to bedevil U.S. intelligence officials for well past the immediate future.<\/p>\n
