Currently there is much speculation about North Korea's deployment of a human torpedo causing the March 26 tragedy-at-sea. But some analysts are skeptical of this theory. Daniel Pinkston, a North Korean expert for the International Crisis Group think tank, remarked that he would be "absolutely astounded" if a human torpedo was the the true source of the South Korean ship sinking.

"They're giving more credibility to a mine," Pinkston tells the LA Times in an article titled, "James Bond theories arise in Korean ship sinking." Pinkston continues: "There seems to be a hole in each of the scenarios being looked at. Some of it sounds like stuff from a James Bond film."
Bruce Klingner, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, said on Thursday that he noticed “uncharacteristic reticence and nervousness” among South Korean officials although, metaphorically, “they found a body with a bullet hole in the head and North Korea was the only guy in the room with the pistol.”
