Supporters of South Korea’s leftist President Roh-Moo Hyun have announced a fresh campaign to persuade citizens to cancel their subscriptions to the often-critical Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo, and to subscribe instead to the pro-government Kyunghang Sinmun and Hankyoreh Sinmun. The latter newspapers both strongly support the Roh administration’s policy of appeasing North Korea and assuming a more neutral role toward the United States, which maintains 34,000 troops in Korea for that nation’s defense. The group, known as Nosamo, or...

A poster at OhMyNews actually offered this excuse for opposing the North Korean Human Rights Act: Considering the negligent reaction of the US Congress on the crushed “human rights” of the abused prisoners in Abu Graib, however, it is very difficult to trust the humanitarian motives of the US Congress. If the US Congress succeeds in letting the US Administration repent its evil war crimes and if the United States shows sincere efforts to help the abused prisoners restore their...
