[…] Holy Mother of Pearl — GI Korea’s dismantling of AP Reporter Charles Hanley (Part 2, Part 1) is one of the ages. […]
GI,
You are spending a lot of brainpower on this subject.
But, remember this: readers will "see your point of view" in the same way you will someday "convert" to Silly Sally's point of view. That's right, everyone has already made up their mind on the issue … don't try to confuse them with un-wanted facts.
Most people are completely closed-up in their own personalized logic; nothing penetrates unless it affirms the ego. Let the good be good, and the wicked remain wicked.
[…] Yes foks an unsubstantiated rumor that cannot be proven in anyway means that American sanctions on North Korea due to it’s counterfeiting of US currency is on "shaky ground". How can an editor at a major German newspaper agree to print something like this?

People should really go back and read the AP piece and highlight all the Daily stuff. The AP used him throughout the piece to spice up its claims and tie everything together with dramatic flare.
Where is the part 2 story hiding?, it seems to be missing.

I enter Korea on the Morning of the 6 July 1950 after a over night trip from Camp Hakata just across the bay from the city of Fukuoka Japan.First combat on the afternoon of the 7 July at Chonan.After a few fire fight with the South Korean on the 12 July a order came down that we were not to fire at no one till we were fire upon.On the 14 July we were three miles south west of Kongju east of the Kum near the village of Samgyori when the NKPA walk into our outpost and capture our out post with fireing a shot then they turn our MG on the battalion.The battle lasted for two hours we lost 11 officer 125 enlisted men.In my tour in Korea I never saw men fire on non combat person.I did see my brothers shot in the head with they hands tied behind them.Sign 40 Yards
