I don't really understand how engaging in diplomacy with North Korea is some sort of propaganda coup for them, this is the same country that believes that Kim Jong-Il shot a 38 under par on an 18 hole course with 11 holes in one. Reality doesn't matter to them anyways so engaging them and attempting to foster a more positive image of America in that country even if only with Kim Jong-Un shouldn't be looked down on.
It was reported as just another foreigner coming to bow at the throne of the boy king.

I cant help thinking that Rodman is on the payroll of the State Department to keep tabs on Kim and on his stability (both mental,and political), and to keep open the lines of communication while the two govt's officially dont speak to each other.
Not true. The US operates through the resident Swedish embassy and the state department would prefer is US citizens did not violate the logan act.
