...a rare midweek post...

I received this e-mail from another Fulbright English Teacher living in Korea:

http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200803/200803270009.html

This truly is a sad story, but found the article very interesting. I wanted to know why I hadn't heard of this until it found it's way into my inbox today, so I did some searching.

Here is what the NYTimes had to say:

And the International Herald Tribune:

Obviously Korea has a national interest in the story, but the slant of the article is undeniable. As far as know, the Chosun-Ilbo is a conservative newspaper.
