Remember Stephen Kim, the State Department advisor arrested on charges of revealing secrets to FOX News? Well, a group of Korean scholars certainly do:
A committee in support of Stephen Kim, led by Kim Jae-chun, dean of Graduate School of International Studies at Sogang University, started a Web site at www.stephenkim.or.kr to collect letters, signatures and donations.
His supporters in the U.S. have helped Stephen Kim through the “Stephen Kim Legal Defense Trust” at www.stephenkim.org, but it is the first time people in Korea have launched a campaign for him.
“Stephen Kim has been in a dire situation for something that he did not do and we thought this kind of campaign in Korea is necessary to help him,” Kim Jae-chun told the Korea JoongAng Daily by phone on Wednesday.
Two thoughts: 1) I’m sure Kim appreciates the sentiments, but I do wonder how it might look for a bunch of foreign co-ethnics to help a guy charged with espionague; and 2) does anyone know what, exactly, Kim did other than tell FOX News the obvious?
