NIIGATA (Kyodo) Charles Jenkins, a former U.S. Army deserter who spent nearly four decades in North Korea, has been hospitalized after fracturing a rib at his home in Sado, Niigata Prefecture, city officials said Wednesday.

Jenkins, 66, who is married to freed abductee Hitomi Soga, 47, was hospitalized Saturday after tripping and injuring his chest on Jan. 24, according to the Sado government.

Jenkins thought he was merely bruised and did not seek treatment, but the hospital in Sado found that the fractured rib was protruding into his abdomen and causing internal bleeding, the city said.

Jenkins was transferred by helicopter Wednesday to Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital in the city of Niigata.

Jenkins deserted to North Korea from South Korea while serving in the U.S. Army in 1965. Soga was abducted by North Korean agents in 1977. After Soga was repatriated in 2002, Jenkins and their two North Korean-born daughters joined her in Japan in July 2004 via Indonesia.

Gee, that 400,000yen/month Japanese government pension he gets for being a convicted felon must buy a hell of a lot shochu. Jenkins didn't notice at first that he had a fractured rib poking into his gut.

Hey Taro/boothe,

I get the sense from you guys that you really abhor Jenkins, perhaps more than most people. I understand there is antipathy for a traitor who defected to N. Korea, but is there another reason why you two are affected (or mortified) by his actions moreso than some of the younger FG's on the board? Is it that he's not only a traitor but is getting pretty good treatment now that he's back in Japan?

He must not have been convicted based on the quality of his teaching- if the North Koreans end up sounding like him, I'd pardon him of all wrong doing.

Hey Bird, they're paying him those 40 big ones to make sure he stays blitzed while he's living with that sow. But, even Jenkins can't stay drunk that long. He's gotta sober up sometime and take a look at her face. That'll be more than enough penalty for being Nova's resident Pyongyang rep....
