Anju Links for 6 March 2008
COST-SHARING ISN’T GOING AWAY as an issue between the United States and South Korea. Ambassador Vershbow continues to make an issue of it even after President Lee’s inauguration.
LEAST FAVORED NATION STATUS: North Korea may have the world’s worst dictatorship, but it’s only the second least liked nation in America. Iran, always a strong and deserving contender, is liked the least.
A HUMAN RIGHTS DEPARTMENT in the Unification Ministry?
I GUESS YOU COULD CALL THAT AN IMPROVEMENT: North Korea, which is suspected of putting the handicapped in special “camps,” has accepted some donated wheelchairs. This at least acknowledges that handicapped people do and should exist in North Korea.
Mr. Stanton,
I think you posted previously about EAP’s efforts at censoring other departments, for example: Lefkowitz’s remarks at AEI aren’t posted on the DOS website and EAP’s country report on the DPRK makes little mention of human rights.
This recent WaPo piece illustrates EAP’s efforts at censoring DRL.

Fabulous.
I’m at a loss for words. This woman should lose her job. The more people the North Koreans shoot, the less this Administration cares.
I regret voting for for the worthless thumbdicks who allow these people to draw a salary.
