Jerrold Post – Profile of Kim Jong Il

David speaks with Jerrold Post, the former CIA officer who founded the Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior. He was tasked by the CIA with writing a a psychological profile for some of the world’s most dangerous and illusive leaders, including North Korean leader Kim Jung Il. Now as Kim Jung-Il’s health deteriorates and as the regime signals its plans for succession (rumored now to be Kim Jung Il’s youngest son Kim Jung Eun), Post helps us understand the singular mind and motivation of the man known throughout North Korea as “Dear Leader.”
