'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

NK Human Rights Envoy to Work With US Nuke Team

Robert King, the nominee for the U.S. special envoy for North Korean human rights, is expected to also work as a member of Washington's team working on multilateral talks aimed at denuclearizing the communist country, Yonhap News reported Saturday.

"King is expected to work as a member of Stephen Bosworth's team, with Washington also considering including King in the expected bilateral talks between the U.S. and North Korea," Yonhape quoted a Seoul official privy on the matter, requesting to be unnamed, as saying.

Last month, King, a former Congressional aide and a member of the National Security Council under former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, was named special envoy on North Korean human rights issues, an ambassadorial post, replacing Jay Lefkowitz, who left the post in January after serving under former President George W. Bush. King awaits confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

Pyongyang recently invited Stephen Bosworth, U.S. special representative for North Korea policy, in an attempt to negotiate a breakthrough in the bilateral talks, but Washington insists it will have bilateral talks only within the six-party framework.

U.S. officials said they will make a decision on a possible trip to Pyongyang by Bosworth after Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao completes a North Korean trip next week to meet with Kim Jong-il for a possible concession from the North Korean leader.

"Whether King would actually take part in the actual negotiations remains unclear," the Seoul official said, noting that the special envoy's participation could invite opposition from North Korea.
