Chris, this is one of the dumbest statements I've heard from a Korean historian:

> "The most important thing is that they did not stop the executions," historian Jung Byung-joon, a member of the 2-year-old commission, said of the Americans. "They were at the crime scene, and took pictures and wrote reports."

The fact that South Korea participated in many Korean War massacres is not news, at least in Korea. This historian, however, is bending over backwards to place the blame on America.

Part of the leftist notion that America was responsible for splitting Korea.

The American colonel, troubled by what he was hearing, tried to stall at first. But the declassified record shows he finally told his South Korean counterpart it "would be permitted" to machine-gun 3,500 political prisoners, to keep them from joining approaching enemy forces.

How is it the American military has trouble doing the right thing at critical moments like the ones described in the article you posted?
