A Korean professor here believes it's all made-up and false. He thinks it's politically-motivated, and went on about how the gov't needs to prepare for reunification rather than accuse people of this. He doesn't seem to think the North will last much longer.

(AP) � SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean university lecturer accused of spying for North Korea since the early 1990s has been indicted on espionage charges, prosecutors said Thursday.
The suspect, identified by the surname Lee, was charged with giving North Korea confidential information, including the locations of key South Korean military facilities and an army operations manual, prosecutors in Suwon, south of Seoul, said in a statement.
The 37-year-old man, who taught politics at a South Korean university, was arrested on Sept. 11 and indicted Tuesday for violating South Korea's National Security Law, the statement said. If convicted, he could face the
death penalty......... |

Just 1 professor caught working for the North? It shouldn't be that hard to catch dozens at a time. |
