I agree 100 percent with the comment: “The DLP is just the tip of the iceberg of the potential amount of North Korean spies still residing in the Korean government.”

Back in 2004, I wrote a little foot-noted piece on Spies, Espionage and Infiltrators — mainly focused on Kunsan and only paying cursory attention to the DMZ. (http://kalaniosullivan.com/KunsanAB/8thFW/Howitwasb11e1_a.html) But the point I was making was that since the 1960s, the North has systematically infiltrated the unions/government infrastructure, academia and student unions. They have been at it for over 40 years. Kim Dae-jung released all the spies and the last spies were sent home to the North by Roh Moo-hyun…and no one has searched for them for 10 years.

The current problem for the new conservative government is that the original infiltrators — and yes, they are a fact — are now retiring and they are getting their replacements (family members) into their old jobs. When Roh started expanding the employment in all areas of government — despite his initial promises not to do this — it started me thinking that this was I was talking about in my 2004 piece.

I hope under Lee Myeong-bak, the neutered NIS is reinvigorated and the search for spies taken away from the Korean National Police — and given back to the NIS who now are limited only to investigating business espionage. The KNP has caught no spies (except those the Japanese told them about or were handed to them by other agencies) since given the tasking by Roh…but in truth, no spies have been found since Kim Dae-jung took over (again with the exception of those handed to the ROK by Japan tip-offs).

Makes you wonder how many of the on-base workers are really part of “sleeper” units for the North. These “sleeper” personnel were found as Seoul National University professors, railway workers, electrical workers, and union officials. Some of these “sleepers” were fully integrated into South Korean society after slipping into South Korea from the North. They attended high schools in the South while they lived with their “family” of spies. Yep, Lee Myeong-bak may have his hands full — but does he really want to do it??? It’ll be a bucket of worms. We’ll see.

Ilshimhoes. They’re everywhere…on base playing slots and golf, cruising in their luxury automobiles, keeping the daily machinations of this so-called alliance in order. Just as with prostitution, human trafficking, nukes, missiles, black marketing, defections, aid to North Korea, six-party talks, and all the other large and small pieces of this grand sham, a certain number of enemies this side of the MDL is necessary to keep the Big Lie in perpetuation. You must have an element of credibility in the threat of clear and present danger, or else USFK would be able to leave, which is what no Corean wants, despite rhetoric on the contrary. If you dig deep enough through investigation and waterboarding, too many secrets would be exposed…to wit, that the entire Korean War and system of things over the past 60 years or so has been one fabrication so colossal that only they who conceived it could possibly know of its treachery….

Think about it…the fact that this comes out in the news this week is but another way in which the Coreans may now leverage against US transfer of operational control, movement to Pyongtaek, and reduction in USFK personnel numbers.

If one has ever sought the archetypical Great Master of the Lie, he needs look no further than the Corean.
