That the North Koreans commited atrocities such as this is well known and incontrovertible. All you have here are people who know where they buried the bodies now telling you that the virtually non-existent South Korean military and government did the killing.
The fact is the North invaded by surprise and over-ran the country so thoroughly that only the small sector South of the Pusan Perimeter was still in UN (and South Korean) hands.
The North Koreans controlled the entire area where these bodies are now being pointed to. They are the killers. They have collaborators to this day to lie for them.
I am beginning to really be amazed at how prejudiced my fellow FReepers are to the ugly parts of history. I have no idea if this is because you are feeling guilty for the men who are dying in Iraq or if you are all South Koreans. I know that ugly things happen during wars but to run from it is cowardice. Fight it and keep fighting it to make sure that it never happens with our men. I remember the slaughter in My Lai. I had just come home from Nam when it happened. I was ashamed but I never tried denying that Americans did it.
This bullshit about AP is nonsense. There is hundreds of articles posted on FR by AP reporters that nobody says anything about. The same with World Net and Newsweek. I’m not too happy with half the crap the NY Times spews out everyday but I don’t attack the newspaper because they are probably the most quoted source on FR.
