Denial doesn’t make evidence of the truth disappear. Keep trying.

I guess if these “western journalists” attempted to investigate some of the REAL and CURRENT atrocities ongoing on the planet -— they'd get their asses killed.

It's always safe to throw feces at the civilized......

Yes, I am positive you would criticise someone who said the same about the Jews being slaughtered like chickens during WWII.

Is there a word that means “what incredible crap”? I can’t think of it right now.

Yes.

"AP".

More than likely any "mass grave" found in South Korea north of the Pusan Perimeter is filled with the bodies of Christians slain by Northern Communist troops and collaborators.

AP has now gone over the line.

Thank you. The AP didn't find room in their "objective" report to recognize what actually caused this sort of reaction.

I expected a negative reaction when I posted this story. But the story is now out there and I’m sure it will become more detailed as time goes by.

I’m with you in not wanting to hide from whatever the reality may be.

It’s called War and Survival! I wonder if AP ever heard of that?

I have no idea if these people are afraid that it is true and yes humans are capable of acting this way sometimes or if they’re worried a family member had anything to do with it or they just can’t stand the idea of having to think about the pain and horror that the victims went through.

They need to move to Egypt.

“So 100,000 less Communists in the world is a problem how?”

Right, that’s no problem. Exterminating Commies is a praiseworthy act.

Maybe some women and children needed to be eliminated too. The authorities probably couldn’t trust them, or maybe they couldn’t care for them given the anarchic conditions in Korea at that time. I am sure there was no other answer, or they wouldn’t have been killed.

If this was your great grand parents who were slaughtered in this mess would you want the AP to remain quiet then.

Who gives a damn who is bringing this out in the open. I could care less if the Russians were announcing it or if it’s the Red Cross, get the crimes out in the open.

Why?

Because it is HISTORY and those who ignore HISTORY will repeat it!

CHARLES J. HANLEY is the SAME leftist propagandist who has written about how truthful and forthcoming Joseph Wilson and his “CIA” bimbo wife were — and still denies that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction — IN SPITE of the corpses of thousands of Kurds KNOWN to be killed by chemical weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION...

It’s a pity there isn’t a “Court of Journalist Credentials” where EACH year Journalists must PROVE their articles were TRUTHFUL and based on FACTS, not talking points.....

“If this was your great grand parents who were slaughtered in this mess would you want the AP to remain quiet then.”

If it was my grandparents I would probably want it kept quiet they were traitors.

“I could care less if the Russians were announcing it or if it’s the Red Cross, get the crimes out in the open.”

What crime? If this happen (and I think it did) they were killing traitors. They didn’t have time to hold trials, or assign lawyers or anything else. They were fighting for their survival. The NKs and Chinese did not give anyone a trial. For example they caught some of our crew chiefs who were unable to get out. They wired them to the roofs of the hangers and left them there. They literally ran the wire through their skin. That was probably the least barbaric things the north has done.

The ONLY purpose of this story is to paint the US in a bad light. Everyone in South Korea knows things like this happened so they aren’t breaking any big secret.

And then theres the aspect of the US controlling another country. The South did this. If the US stops it then the AP says the US is interfering. If the US doesn’t stop it then the AP says the US is murdering people.

The common denominator is that the AP hates America.

‘No, you ignorant sh!thead. The fact so many were slaughtered without proof or evidence of association is what you should pray that the same never happens to you or your family.”

What proof were they supposed to come up with? Should they have called CSI? Perhaps they should have filed a motion to delay trial until the Chinese killed everyone. You are naive.

Well the title is twisted but the story is less exaggerated than expected from the title. The real story I think is that the funds to investigate this may be cut so we need to fluff it up so we can keep the funding coming in.

I think what actually started this (North Korean Invasion) is when "Secretary of State Dean Acheson's public statement in January 1950 that Korea was outside the U.S. defense perimeter in Asia." Truman's secretary of state.

Now you know why the current generation of ROK civilins see America as their number one enemy and not the North.

Let me see if I have this right. The Japanese invade China and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians. The Germans invade Poland, France, et al and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians. The North Koreans invade South Korea and the South Koreans kill hundreds of thousands of their own people. Obviously the gracious North Korean invaders couldn't possibly have been guilty of the atrocity./Sarc
