Excellent job TLR.

I encourage you (if you are likewise inclined) to use the words " 'Freepranslated' by ________" in such research posts so we can get that as a regular word in the Freeper lexicon. There is a growing number of Freepers who read critical foreign languages, who synopsize here in English like you have, thus providing stuff that may never otherwise see the light of day in the English, Western press. Thanks for your service!

Now, on this side, recently I sent an e-mail letter, trying to appear apolitical, as an academic 'researcher', to a so-called Korean rights organization which is part of the International A.N.S.W.E.R. anti-Bush, anti-America umbrella.

This group claims to stick up for the 'human rights of Koreans.' Nearly everything they have is so-called atrocities by US troops in Korea 50 years ago.

I stated specifically in my message that I had a growing concern and could they help me and confirm: the locations of several concentration camps in NORTH KOREA, and I pointed to the Fall 2002 Far East Economic Review magazine article with clear aerials of one of those North Korean death and work camps near China for political prisoners/Christians, and asked them to briefly help me research (or provide other information resources) re: the rumored terrible human rights situation there in the DPRK.

I wrote it clearly, politely and respectfully asking for them, as Koreans and Korean experts who are also concerned, to help me.

I sent it over nearly TWO WEEKS AGO.

Do you think this communist front job for that scumbag, phony "pro-peace" shill of an organization International A.N.S.W.E.R. ever got back to me or otherwise showed the slightest concern?

Re #15

I could adopt the term "Freepranslation".:) As for those so-called human rights group, I doubt that they will show any interest on your request.

There are two human rights groups in S. Korea. The left wing one is more interested in "American and S. Korean atrocities". They would rather send human shields to Baghdad than raising concerns on N. Korean human rights. Even French are more likely to take up on N. Korean human rights than these losers. Then, there are conservative groups, usually sponsored by church charities. They do most of human rights monitoring on N. Korea. I think that Norbert Vollertsen works with these people. The left wing is busy painting Vollertsen as a publicity hound.
