Summer of Terror: At least 100,000 said executed by Korean ally of US in 1950

This is the first of a multi-part article on the South Korean massacres of 1950, the US direct and indirect involvement in those massacres, and the subsequent cover up of the events in South Korea and the United States.

Grave by mass grave, South Korea is unearthing the skeletons and buried truths of a cold-blooded slaughter from early in the Korean War, when this nation's U.S.-backed regime killed untold thousands of leftists and hapless peasants in a summer of terror in 1950.

With U.S. military officers sometimes present, and as North Korean invaders pushed down the peninsula, the southern army and police emptied South Korean prisons, lined up detainees and shot them in the head, dumping the bodies into hastily dug trenches. Others were thrown into abandoned mines or into the sea. Women and children were among those killed. Many victims never faced charges or trial.

The mass executions — intended to keep possible southern leftists from reinforcing the northerners — were carried out over mere weeks and were largely hidden from history for a half-century. They were "the most tragic and brutal chapter of the Korean War," said historian Kim Dong-choon, a member of a 2-year-old government commission investigating the killings.

Sounds like a plan to me. When do we start it here?

You know, maybe I'm just an asshole, but it seems to me that when your country is being invaded, rounding up enemy sympathizers and neutralizing them to prevent a guerrilla war behind your lines is a pretty necessary action.  Not preferable, but necessary.

I fail to see a problem with this...

Had the United States actually been invaded by a large hostile force in 1941, you can bet your ass that FDR would have given the order to ventilate as many Japanese and Nazi sympathizers as he could.

We're working on a "Do It Yourself" plan. We plan on using Muslims/Islam 'not muslim enough' as an example. The DUmmies are going to kill all the leftist that aren't "left" enough and then there won't be but a few DUmmies left for us to "take care of ".

It is interesting that the original linked article does not mention the United Nations even once.
