ITF used as tool for North Korea

[NightOwl]

According to a recent report, North Korea has been smuggling out spies and assassins under the guise of 'Taekwondo Masters' under the ITF. The article can be found here:

Wow. That is something else. Quite the deal. Hopefully, the ITF doesn't suffer terribly at the release of this news.

To be honest I don't think those claims carry much weight and even if they did what does it matter, the N. Koreans probably tried to use all sorts of people to assasinate the S. Koreans. If you notice who their source was, Choi Jung Hwa, it doesn't exactly mean all that much. Choi Jung Hwa always had a problem with the N. Korean government using Gen. Choi and the ITF as a political tool. He was actually removed as Gen. Choi's successor because of his issues with NK. His "confession" seems to be more politically motivated than any else, especially given NK's 60th anniversary.

So much politics involved. It is what sucks about the Martial Arts world. But, in the end, we are still human.
