Under tyrannical regimes the free flow of information is often thwarted. Here's more on the rumors of Kim Jong-il's health. From BBC:
"North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is probably still in hospital, but capable of making decisions, according to Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso.
"... Mr Aso did not reveal where the intelligence reports came from, saying: "In this era, we get information from many sectors."
But he told the foreign policy committee that Japan had 'information that Mr Kim is probably in hospital.'
"'His condition isn't good. But we don't think that he's in a state where he's incapable of making any decisions at all,' Mr Aso said.
"The Japanese leader also appeared to confirm Japanese television reports that Mr Kim was receiving treatment from a French brain surgeon.
"Earlier this week, Fuji TV broadcast footage of what it claimed was Mr Kim's eldest son, Kim Jong-nam, entering a Paris clinic for a discussion about his father's health."
