The audience must not have known that Clooney's an activist for human rights in Africa. At least they knew King Abdullah's not a dictator.

Spoiler

Don't worry, there are other satellites keeping an eye on Kim.

I didn't know that, either. What really flummoxed me was the implication that he owns a private satellite that he uses for this purpose. Or maybe he funds a government satellite?

No ATA.
