THE sister of the gunman responsible for the deadliest shooting rampage in modern US history works as a contractor for a State Department office that oversees billions of dollars in American aid for Iraq.
The revelations about Sun-kyung Cho came after the siblings' grandfather said the Korean family came to the US to "raise the children properly". More on that story below.
Sun-kyung is employed by the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office, according to US officials and a State Department staff directory that says she works from an annex near the department's headquarters in Washington.

Bush’s fault!
Somehow Iraq is the reason for each and every thing negative.

Lord...Strike that poor boy down...
D.L.R.
maybe like the MANMADE-warmer conditions created a chemical imbalance in his brain that made him flip? i am sure there is at least a 50,000 word research thesis on that topic.
Clever, but morbid given what has transpired.
I just can’t believe that people have not made the connection.
This attack was set in motion by a small faction in the CIA that are left over from the first Bush’s term. They did this to keep the old media from covering the Gonzales testimony on Capital Hill.
Are the US pressers asleep or just incompetent?
Our press is “protecting” this evil little b#@$*rd so they can put most of the blame on his guns. The guns made him do it.
Are the US pressers asleep or just incompetent?
Yes to both
Our local drive-time AM talk radio guy played a clip of an ABC report from sometime yesterday or the night before (not sure which) but after a report on the political fallout from this massacre (re: gun control), the female host said something along the lines of “when we return, we’ll look at the lives these guns took...”
Cho also SHAVED his head right before...the roommates said this last night.....isn’t that the Islamofacists way before they kill and die?
Both.....asleep AND incompetent AND Uncurious!
This is a story about how we need to confiscate all private weapons. Only info/spin pushing that point makes it into the press. That, and emotive grief that can be channeled into the political fight.
