By Via a reader tip comes this story about how a US mom traveled to South Korea to rescue her son kidnapped by his father:
A Queens mom whose 7-year-old son was abducted by her ex-husband last summer returned home with the boy Wednesday night after snatching him from a South Korean school in an act of derring-do that would make James Bond proud.
“I’m so happy,” said Tiffany Rubin, 30, her arm around son Kobe as they arrived at Kennedy Airport Wednesday night. “I thought I would never see him again. So this is all so amazing.”
On hand to greet them was a welcoming party of family and friends, waving, jumping up and down, clutching balloons and cheering Kobe’s name.
One youngster drew laughter when he shouted, “What took you so long, man?” only to have Kobe shrug, grin and answer, “I don’t know, but I feel good.”
The saga of Kobe and his mom began last August when his father spirited him off to South Korea after a visit at the dad’s Brooklyn home. [NY Daily News]

"Miller smiled, nodded and said, "She worked with us every step of the way without ever faltering. She is one courageous woman.""
Oh right.
She's a courageous woman for going to South Korea. We all know how dangerous that is… cause you know them violent communist Koreans, they kidnap Americans and hold them hostage in torture chambers. Americans.. when they exaggerate, they really exaggerate.
All I can say is, that poor teacher.. she's made to look like a villain in the American media, and all she did was teach the little kid.

Oh right.
No other news media exaggerates or blatantly lies, like putting out that USFK kept ROK from responding to NORK artillery and infuriating Tom.
