Thanks for the photos. I read somewhere he was an evangelical Christian. God comfort his family, please.
Heartbreaking. To lose a child is one of the biggest hurts life can deal a person, but to know he died so horrifically would make me insane. God help them.
Excuse me but who took photos of the parents and why?
You folks see his family in tears.
IT IS TIME TO PUT AN END TO THESE TERRORIST PUNKS.
Major Bob said it on FNC today. Time for us to behead some of them. Time to turn places like Syria and Iran into a glass parking lot.
Heartbreaking
I'd love to see the Koreans send 6,000 instead of 3,000.
Who else? News reporters who camped out at their home in Pusan.
sorry everyone - my mistake (ignore link above!
That article was written by an Australian "journalist". I wonder if it's the same one who took pictures of the American who was kidnapped outside of Fallujah. The cameraman was conveniently there to capture the attack on the convoy. He's scum.
The pain and shock on the father's face is enough to tear your heart out. May God bring him comfort.
Emails to the South Korean Embassy; please send condolences to our ally in their sorrow:

Excuse me, but who cares and why not? Their grief is pertinent to the immensity of the crime.
To the best of my knowledge these troops' mission is to be to purely defensive.
Somehow I don't think you will see a picture of the greiving family on page 1 of the New York Times and you sure won't see a "60 Minutes" episode about the terrorist's latest crime. I half expect our leftist media to have an angry editorial disguised as a news story expressing outrage the next time terrorists are killed, however.
"these troops' mission is to be to purely defensive."
Yes, but they're helping the U.S.. That's why this poor man was kidnapped and killed. So why not respond by announcing that they're sending in more "help"? And how about other countries doing the same: Announcing that anyone kidnapped will result in more people (soldiers) being sent.? (just shows a defiance to their actions and threats)
I am really losing my temper at these Islamofascist scum and join the enraged S. Korean nation cursing those vermin.
Now THAT would be going on the psy war OFFENSIVE.
Dammit, we are too much on the DEFENSIVE in this war. The enemy is operating right out of Sun Tzu, and we are falling for it (helped of course by the media who want the US to lose).
My prediction? 80-90% of Freepers are suddenly going to turn against (the murdered) Kim Sun-il shortly (perhaps today) and say he deserved it, due to some things that will be coming out. It won't be nice. Sad.
It's look tacky to me taking pictures of people in moments of grief that are intensely pesonal. But then I'm looking at it from the perspective of our Opra culture over here where photographers are like vultures feeding on victims grief. But if its done within a moral framework as you suggest and the parents themselves don't feel used by that then that helps me understand better. Thanks.
No it's not. I think everyone can imagine how a family grieves.
OK-what's going to be coming out? BTW when I was at Camp Cedar II (outside An Nasiriyah) we would see the ROK soldiers all the time. They had set up their hospital at nearby Talil Air Base and they were doing construction work at Cedar II. You would see them in the Talil PX often and they would be out doing PT on the roads at Talil in the evenings or early mornings.
The Korean young man's last e-mails to a friend in Korea, were released.
Americans will not like what he had to say about American troops in Iraq and President Bush.
Also, developing, is that the Foreign Ministry may have covered up his kidnapping, and known about it for some time. AP asked them about it earlier in the month...even gave the rumored kidnappee's name....and they denied such a S. Korean was hostage.
I agree fully. But they won't do it while Bush is president. And likely would not do it under any circumstances (such as with, ugh, a President Kerry)beyond what they are already doing. Did you notice the organized demonstration in Seoul S. Korea against sending of the 3,000 troops? the signs read: "George Bush #1 Terrorist." That's who they blame for the beheading. This attitude is typical of many of our "allies."
