PHOTOS: 1950 Korea Mass Killings(Warning: Graphic)
Photography by the US Army kept secret!!!
Sun May 18, 12:59 PM ET
This photograph by the U.S. Army, provided by the U.S. National Archives in
College Park, Md., on Monday, May 5, 2008, is one of a series of declassified
images depicting the summary execution of South Korean political prisoners by
the South Korean military and police at Daejeon, South Korea, over several days
in July 1950. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Korea is investigating
this and similar mass killings in South Korea in 1950-51. A chief investigator
estimates up to 7,000 were killed at Daejeon, and tens of thousands elsewhere.

Fear, secrecy kept 1950 Korea mass killings hidden
By CHARLES J. HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent Sun May
18, 1:26 PM ET
One journalist's bid to report mass murder in South Korea in 1950 was blocked
by his British publisher. Another correspondent was denounced as a possibly
treasonous fabricator when he did report it. In South Korea, down the
generations, fear silenced those who knew.
Fifty-eight years ago, at the outbreak of the Korean War, South Korean
authorities secretively executed, usually without legal process, tens of
thousands of southern leftists and others rightly or wrongly identified as
sympathizers. Today a government Truth and Reconciliation Commission is working
to dig up the facts, and the remains of victims.
How could such a bloodbath have been hidden from history?
