An oldie but a goodie...... "Roger Clinton, everybody's favorite presidential half-brother/R&B singer, will be rocking in North Korea next month.

Charges Against Dr. Wenyi Wang Will Be Dropped The Epoch Times ^ \| June 26, 2006 \| Brian Marple & Du Won Kang Doctor who spoke out against China's organ-harvesting will not be prosecuted WASHINGTON — Dr. Wenyi Wang reached an agreement with prosecutors in which all charges against her will be dropped, she said on June 14. Dr. Wang protested at the White House during a visit by Hu Jintao, head of the Chinese communist regime, on April 20. Under the deal, charges against Dr. Wang will be postponed until April 2007. If she does not commit any crimes during that time period—including confronting foreign officials—the charges will then be dropped. On April 20, after Hu began speaking, Wang, 47, stood up on the camera platform, unfurled a banner, and shouted in protest. Wang was charged with "willfully intimidating, coercing, threatening and harassing a foreign official," a federal misdemeanor with penalties up to six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. "I can assure you that he did not feel threatened at all," she said in a statement. "What he really felt was fear of the truth." She maintained that her action is not a crime, and wanted to be completely exonerated. Dr. Wang is a pathologist with experience in organ transplant research, and she was assigned to follow the story for The Epoch Times on large scale organ harvesting by the Chinese communist regime. "[We] obtained information regarding large-scale organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners between 2001 and 2003 in major labor camps that detained Falun Gong practitioners…. Some doctors who know the overall picture of the live organ harvesting scheme told us the cruelty and inhumanity is unthinkable, unspeakable and far beyond what has been reported in The Epoch Times ," she said in a written statement on April. Dr. Wang said, "I feel it is a wise decision that the American government decided to drop the charges against me. I have said from the very start that I'm not afraid of going to trial, because through the trial, the American people and Chinese people may take a good look at what kind of persecution Falun Gong practitioners have been suffering in the past several years. The American people may understand that they should not only engage China economically, but also put human rights issues into effect, and care about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners," according to VOA's report on June 21. She continued: "It will be shameful if human beings remain silent about the torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in China. We all should act to save innocent lives." Dr. Wang was trained in China as a medical doctor, holds a Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Chicago, and completed her residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
