Yeah it seems to sound more of an attempt to sway an election outcome with rumor than just free speech.
Oh I love the selection Stout uses It begins by calling South Korean's govenment reactionary forces. Righ!t as compared to the progressive and free forces of the Soviet Union led by Stalin and the Peoples Republic of China led by Mao. Now those guys really endorsed free speech |

Those guys never claimed to be about things like free speech.
Some Koreans have told me what peeves Lee Myung bak about Chung (the dude being sentenced to prison) is that Chung keeps pointing out things like:
During the 2007 presidential election, questions about his relationship with a company called BBK were raised. In 1999, Lee met Kim Kyung-joon and established the LKE Bank with Kim Kyung-joon. However, this enterprise went bankrupt less than a year later and 5,500 investors lost substantial amounts of money. BBK co-founder Kim Kyung-joon was investigated for large-scale embezzlement and stock price-fixing schemes. Kim Kyung-joon had initially stated that Lee was not involved with the company, and Lee himself denied being associated with BBK.
Kim Hong-il of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office cleared Lee of any wrongdoing, but three days before the election, a video of a speech Lee gave to students at Kwangwoon University in October 2000 surfaced, in which Lee "bragged" that he had founded and directed BBK activities.[1]
