Still Banned
Re: Korea Blocks 40 Web Sites to Bar Spread of Victim's Video
Katolik Shinja, and an untold number of other sites are still banned in the Republic of Korea (South, not North Korea). The number is much higher than 40, as I cannot open any of the innocent Catholic blogs from overseas listed on the sidebar without a proxy. It seems the government has blocked entire domains, i.e. blogger, blog-spot, blog-city, type-pad, etc., and counts those as "sites."
According to the above article, these are Mr. Kim Sun-il's final words, before being murdered:
Mr. Kim Sun-il does in fact now live, and we can safely hope that he went to a place much better than Korea. Requiescat in pace.
Before those last words, he was quoted as screaming:
This seems to be the real reason behind the censorship of the "progressive" Roh administration.
The poor fellow seems to have believed that if he said the right things, he'd be spared. We can understand why he would think this. In his circumstances, very few of us wouldn't try to say the right thing to stay alive.
What is incomprehensible is that so many still think these terrorists are people with whom the civilized world can or even should negotiate. These are people who are not above killing their own co-religionists (from countries without troop commitments in Iraq) in the name of their cause (see Insurgents Threaten to Kill Pakistani and Al-Zarqawi group kidnaps 3 Turks, threatens to behead them). These people are homocidal maniacs.

"President Roh Moo-hyun! - This [the troop dispatch] is a mistake. Please, Korean people support me."

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.
