By I looked around to see this report because I would be very interested on who else the added to it:
A conservative group has released a preliminary list of what it says are pro-North Korean figures it will include in its official register of offenders.
The “Committee for the Normalization of the State” held a news conference on Friday to disclose a list of about 100 names from various fields including opposition lawmakers Kwon Young-ghil and Kang Ki-gap and novelists Jo Jung-rae and Hwang Suk-young.
Former presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun were among the five-thousand candidates who were considered for inclusion on the preliminary list.
The group said that all those included on the register have conducted antistate, pro-North Korean activities [KBS Global]
I want to see the list just to see how many of my useful idiots have made the list.

If nothing else, once labled, their names will be remembered (by the media, I would hope) when elections, arrests, or other events such as protests occur. Giving citizens a heads up about what is happening and perhaps why.

"Former presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun were among the five-thousand candidates who were considered for inclusion on the preliminary list."
Why do I smell mccarthyism gone berserk? To even consider president Kim Dae-jung a nobel peace prize winner for this list makes it ridiculous to be taken with any seriousness. Why Any one would support North Korean regime despite of the horror stories coming from their defectors and well known information is beyond me.

Considered, but not included. KDJ was Korea's Jimmy Carter a decent man but clueless. NMY should be on the list, sunshine for over 10 years only produced a nuclear north Korea and saved KJI through expensive contracted medical assistance.
It is a tragedy that KDJ meant well but only extended the suffering and added to the deaths of the North Koreans. Every year 1000s of people flee north Korea but only 0-2 (criminals) emigrate, strange, no?

I smell something, but I doubt its McCarthyism. I believe it was soon discovered after the famous meeting, that Kim Dae Jung, who won the Nobel prize, was that he had paid the North Koreans several hundred million dollars for the priviledge.
You're memory seems to be worse than mine, but I'm only 62. I'm sure you must be much older and can be forgiven for the lapse.
