Let me see; an ex American soldier, part of an army that committed a long string of war crimes in Korea, is arrested and detained for investigation.
When a country detains a Nazi, everyone cheers but when America loses one of its people, part of an army that committed terrible war crimes, it's terrible, bad news, he's a hero, a patriot...
... but they won't release his war record to prove he had nothing to do with America's war crimes in Korea.

One of the worst atrocities was perpetrated by the South Korean police at the small city of Tae Jun. They executed 7,000 political prisoners while Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. military officials looked on, Cumings said. To compound the crime, the Pentagon blamed the atrocity on the Communists, Cumings said. The Joint Chiefs of Staff classified the photographs of it because they make it clear whos doing it, and they dont let the photographs out until 1999 when a Korean finally got them declassified.
Mass rapes of Korean women, executions of political prisoners, deliberately targeting civilian populations with massive bombing raids and a load of other crap....all brushed under the carpet and hidden by classifying the documents and photos.
Much as I dislike the NK government, I can't blame NK on this issue; I would probably have done the same if I'd got hold of a member of the army that did these things.
Remember, NK was absolutely no danger to the United States, you invaded their country and were the aggressor in every way, all to keep your dictator in power in the south.
