Hmm... he doesn't sound very palatable, from his description.

Doesn't sound like we lost an important drop of the genepool.

I remember some years ago a story of one of the Rockefeller clan rumored as meeting the same fate. And apparently it has recently been confirmed.

As for Brisker, going into Amin's den at the height of chaos was just plain crazy.

To bad Kim Jong-Un doesn't share Idi's love of long pork.
