Interesting article.

Several experts walked us through this photo of Kim Jong-un, North Korea's leader...
Maybe its just me (probably), but I just don't understand why any "experts" would want to point out to the bad guys what kind of info, however minor, can be gleaned from a photo or any other resource for that matter. :-\ What ever happened to keeping your cards close to your chest?

I wondered something similar, but going back through the article it's clear the experts aren't government employees and the photo analysis techniques they are discussing aren't in any way secret. We're not really giving anything away from a methods standpoint.
It might even be a bit of counter-intelligence to give the impression we can tell 'this' much when really we can tell 'THHHAAAAAATTTTT' much. :coolsmiley:
If the Norks want to believe that techniques discussed in the NYT are all we have, more power to them :D

That's what I was thinking. Hopefully we know much more than what the article says.
