Truth about Japan

Prosecutors arrested Shigetake Ogata, former director general of the Public Security Intelligence Agency, and two others on June 28 on suspicion of fraud in connection with the transfer of the ownership of the headquarter of North Korea in Japan. Ogata's counterpart of negotiation, Koken Tsuchiya, is a lawyer for the headquarter of North Korea. Once he was the Director of Japan Federation of Bar Associations and known as the chief of the Group to Demand the State Compensation for the Comfort Women. He used to say that abduction of Japanese people by North Korea was a frame up of the right-wings. He is a typical "friend of comfort women".

Members of the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of World War II in Asia, the Chinese Americans for Democracy in Taiwan and others met in a Chinese restaurant today to encourage support for House Resolution 121, introduced by Rep.

The resolution calls for the government to accept historical responsibility and apologize for "its Imperial Armed Forces' coercion of young women into sexual slavery." It describes "the comfort women system" as "one of the largest cases of human trafficking in the 20th century." The resolution was made without verifying the facts and smacks of cheap rhetoric.

And it's sad th...
