Collaborator Sentenced
Here are two opposing editorials about the sentencing of Professor Song Du Yul, ranking member of North Korea's Politburo, in South Korea (see S.Korea Jails Scholar for 7 Years for Aiding North):
Prof. Song is much more than just a "useful idiot." He is the highest-level North Korean agent ever nabbed by the South. The liberal South Korean media lauded his return from exile in Germany a few months ago, but was slow or unwilling to condemn his colaboration with, or membership in, the most repessive government on Earth. This man even received a "Peace Prize" in Seoul a few days ago (see Dissident Professor Given Peace Prize). With seven years, he got off light.

- Conservative: Prof. Song's Supporters Should be Frank
Liberal: Song Du Yul Sentence Disappointing

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
