The early arrival has sparked yet another round of rumors that he could be prepared to announce Evan Bayh as his choice for vice president sometime soon. Multimedia Watch The Video Related Content Senator Obama's planned visit draws a crowd Obama expected to speak about energy and the economy during trip to Elkhart County Speculation flying that Bayh could get Obama's VP nod Stage crews finished setting up lights and speakers late Tuesday exployer south pole north pole for Obama's town hall meeting at Concord High School. The Democratic presidential hopeful is expected to talk about America's energy policy and the economy during the event. He'll share the stage at Concord with a familiar face: Indiana Senator Evan Bayh. But will the two also share the Democratic ticket on the November ballot? A growing number of political experts are beginning to say "yes." Senator labrador retriever puppies in south carolina Obama met with his vice presidential search team in unionunderground south texas deathride Washington, D.C. for more than three hours Monday, but had nothing to say about the process to reporters as he emerged, according to Reuters and The Associated Press. A day later, he had landed in South Bend, and again, his press corps was left behind on the tarmac at South Bend airport, waiting without an answer once again to the question on everyone's lips: who will be named as his running mate, and when? The silence from the Obama camp hasn't stopped the rest of the country from talking. From The Huffington Post to The Washington Post, columnists, and curious posters are weighing in on who, and when. And for the past five days, there's been one name mentioned more than any other: Evan Bayh. Even Las Vegas oddsmakers are sitting up to take notice. The line on wagering websites now shows Bayh south lake tahoe casinos and Virginia Governor

Tim Kaine at even odds to be named VP. The biggest unanswered question is, when? Some headlines read "Obama to name Bayh Wednesday," and they all offer the same evidence. First, the length of the campaign stop. Obama, his campaign staff, and his traveling national press corps are scheduled to be in the South Bend area for more than 21 hours, with no other announced events on the schedule for the day following the early morning town hall meeting in Elkhart. Second, there's the jointly penned letter to south american woven tote Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and subsequent press release sent by the two Senators on Monday. Then there's the sudden cancellation of a Bayh's staff softball game Wednesday, the team name, in another coincidence, is the "Bayh Partisans." There are the websites www.obamabayh.com and www.obamabayh08.com, that link directly to the Democratic Party's homepage. Similar links for other rumored "VP front-runners" lead nowhere. But the biggest theory keeping the rumor mill churning goes something like this: Senator Obama doesn't want his announcement to be overshadowed by anything. Thus, he'll want to announce his pick before the Olympics start on Friday. Will he choose Elkhart as the venue? Those close to his campaign staff aren't so sure. "I think the chances are very slim tomorrow," said St. Joseph County Democratic Party Chairman Owen "Butch" Morgan, who also serves as Democratic Party Chairman for Indiana's Second Congressional District. "I think we would have heard by now that was in the works. I hope I'm wrong. But, I don't think there's going to be a vice presidential announcement [Wednesday]." Even Senator Bayh himself tried to quell the rumors Tuesday. According to The Indianapolis Star, Bayh said he has "no idea" when Obama will announce his running mate. "I'm absolutely confident there will be no announcement tomorrow. I guess the best way to put it is, If there's an announcement tomorrow, I'd be as surprised as anybody else," Bayh told the newspaper. WSBT's calls to Bayh's Communications office were not returned Tuesday. Bayh's Communications Director Eric Kleiman told WSBT on Sunday that, while Senator Bayh planned to attend Wednesday's meeting in Elkhart, he was unaware of any further private meetings between the two. He also said he'd heard nothing of a planned announcement about Obama's running mate. Political experts say, if the announcement south african hyena of Bayh doesn't come Wednesday, that doesn't mean it never will. "One of the things modern campaigns do is float 'trial balloons," said Indiana University South Bend Political Science Professor Elizabeth Bennion. "They'll see how energized the public gets, not just in Indiana, but in other states as property south france well. The party and his campaign is no doubt, running some polls behind the scenes to see how various vice presidential picks would increase or decrease [Obama's] chances in November. So, I'm sure part of this could be that trial balloon." "I see it as a chance for people to see Senator Obama and Senator Bayh together. Maybe that will help Senator Obama make his decision," agreed Morgan. Still, Bennion and others agree that there could be potential negatives if deep south Obama chooses Bayh. He was a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton's campaign for president, and backed Obama only after she dropped out. "You can bet the campaign is going through every word Senator Bayh said, making sure there was nothing bad said about Obama. The last thing they want is for something to come out [that he said] once he's selected, and then it becomes a 30 second spot on TV," Bennion said. Morgan is certain they won't find any. "They're friends," he said. "[Bayh] south fork snake river spoke about Obama being a good choice for president every time he mentioned Hillary Clinton." Bennion says there are potential positives to Bayh's selection, too. "On the other hand, [selecting Bayh] could be seen as reaching out to the white working class or other Clinton supporters. He could help deliver those votes," she said. One thing university of south carolina kids law that likely won't play, though, is geographic location. Senator Obama is from neighboring Illinois. "For many years, political scientists would teach the importance of regional balancing and looking at the ticket, not having people from the same area. But look at the Clinton-Gore ticket. Look at the Bush-Cheney ticket. That kind of went out the window. They didn't need the same sort of regional balancing. It seems to be much less important than it was in days past," Bennion said. That's led Morgan to a simple conclusion, whether it comes on Wednesday or not. "My gut tells me there's a real good chance it's going to be Evan Bayh," he said. There are two more likely indications that the announcement will not be made in Elkhart. Both Senators' families are not scheduled to be there, according to the Associated Press. Some national press outlets are also planning not to broadcast the town hall meeting "live." If the announcement doesn't come in the next two days, Bennion says, it's likely Obama will wait until the days immediately preceding the Democratic National Convention at the end of August. Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain, meanwhile, may still consider Indiana a "safe" state, she said. Indiana has only gone to a Democratic presidential candidate once since 1936. The state's electoral votes were cast for Democrat Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Because of insurance company chicago south suburbs that, it's been rare for presidential candidates to make campaign stops in the Hoosier state. Bennion says that may change this year if polling data continues to show Indiana as a "swing state." If that's the case, it's likely we'll be seeing a lot more of both Obama and McCain in the weeks and months ahead. Doors for Obama's town hall event at Concord High School open at 7:30 a.m. Obama is expected to speak around 9:30 a.m. Tickets are required to attend the meeting.

Hanley and Jae-Soon Chang Associated Press Published: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 8:44 AM EDT EDITOR’S NOTE — On May 19, the Associated Press reported on the hidden history of mass executions by South Korea early in the Korean War. The following report looks in depth at the U.S. connection. Read the story below or click here to access an interactive multimedia presentation of the story. SEOUL, South Korea — The American colonel, troubled by what he was hearing, tried to stall at first. But the declassified record shows he finally told his South Korean counterpart it “would be permitted” to machine-gun 3,500 political prisoners, to keep them from joining approaching enemy forces. In the early days of the Korean War, other American officers observed, photographed and confidentially south carolina zip codes reported on such wholesale executions by their South Korean ally, a secretive slaughter believed to have killed 100,000 or more leftists and supposed sympathizers, usually without charge or trial, in a few weeks in mid-1950. Extensive archival research by the Associated Press has found no indication Far East commander Gen. Douglas MacArthur took action to stem the summary mass killing, knowledge of which reached top levels of the Pentagon and State Department in Washington, where it was classified “secret” and filed away. Now, a half-century later, the South Korean government’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission is investigating what happened in that summer of terror, a political bloodbath largely hidden from history, unlike the communist invaders’ executions of southern rightists, which were widely publicized and denounced at the time. In the now-declassified record at the U.S. National Archives and other repositories, the Korean investigators will find an ambivalent U.S. attitude in 1950 — at times hands-off, at times disapproving. “The most important thing is that they did not stop the executions,” historian Jung Byung-joon, a member of the 2-year-old commission, said of the Americans. “They were at the crime scene, and took pictures and wrote reports.” They took pictures in July 1950 at the slaughter of dozens of men at one huge south park season killing field outside the central city of Daejeon. Between 3,000 and 7,000 South Koreans are believed to have been shot there by their own military and police, and dumped into mass graves, said Kim Dong-choon, the commission member overseeing the investigation of these government killings. The bones of Koh Chung-ryol’s father are there somewhere, and the 57-year-old woman believes South Koreans alone are not to blame. “Although we can’t present concrete evidence, we bereaved families believe the United States has some responsibility for this,” she told the AP, as she visited one of the burial sites in the quiet Sannae valley. Frank Winslow, a military adviser at Daejeon in those base ball camps in south florida desperate days long ago, is one American who feels otherwise. The Koreans were responsible for their own actions, said the retired Army lieutenant colonel, 81. “The Koreans were sovereign. To me, there was never any question that the Koreans were in charge,” he said in a telephone interview from his home in Bellingham, Wash. The brutal, hurried elimination of tens of thousands of their countrymen, subject of a May 19 AP report, was the climax to a years-long campaign by South Korea’s right-wing leaders. In 1947, two years after Washington and Moscow divided Korea into southern and northern halves, a U.S. military government declared the Korean Labor Party, the southern communists, to be illegal. President Syngman Rhee’s southern regime, gaining sovereignty in 1948, suppressed all leftist political activity, put down a guerrilla uprising and held up to 30,000 political prisoners by the time communist North Korea invaded on June 25, 1950. As war broke out, south georgia technical college southern authorities also rounded up members of the 300,000-strong National Guidance Alliance, a “re-education” body to which they had assigned leftist sympathizers, and whose membership quotas also were filled by illiterate peasants lured by promises of jobs and other benefits. Commission investigators, extrapolating from initial evidence and surveys of family survivors, believe most alliance members were killed in the wave of executions. On June 29, 1950, as the southern army and its U.S. advisers retreated southward, reports from Seoul said the conquering northerners had emptied the southern capital’s prisons, and ex-inmates were reinforcing the new occupation regime. In a confidential narrative he later wrote for Army historians, Lt. Col. Rollins S. Emmerich, a senior U.S. adviser, described what then happened in the southern port city of Busan, formerly known as Pusan. Emmerich was told by a subordinate that a South Korean regimental commander, determined to keep Busan’s political south east ny campimg prisoners from joining the enemy, planned “to execute some 3500 suspected peace time Communists, locked up in the local prison,” according to the declassified 78-page narrative, first uncovered by the newspaper Busan Ilbo at the U.S. National Archives. Emmerich wrote that he summoned the Korean, Col. Kim Chong-won, and told him the enemy would not reach Busan in a few days as Kim feared, and that “atrocities could not be condoned.” But the American then indicated conditional acceptance of the plan. “Colonel Kim promised not to execute the prisoners until the situation became more critical,” wrote Emmerich, who died in 1986. “Colonel Kim was told that if the enemy did arrive to the outskirts of (Busan) he would be permitted to open the gates of the prison and shoot the prisoners with machine guns.” This passage, omitted from the published Army history, is the first documentation unearthed showing advance sanction by the U.S. military for such killings. “I think his (Emmerich’s) word is so significant,” said Park Myung-lim, a South Korean historian of the war and adviser to the investigative commission. As that summer wore on, and the invaders pressed their attack on the southern zone, Busan-area prisoners were shot by the hundreds, Korean and foreign witnesses later said. Emmerich wrote that soon after his session with Kim, he met with South Korean officials in Daegu, 55 miles north of Busan, and persuaded them “at that time” not to execute 4,500 prisoners immediately, as planned. Within weeks, hundreds were being executed in the Daegu area. The bloody anticommunist purge, begun immediately after the invasion, is believed by the fall of 1950 to have filled some 150 mass graves in secluded spots stretching to the peninsula’s southernmost counties. Commissioner Kim said the commission’s estimate of 100,000 dead is “very conservative.” The commission later this month will resume excavating massacre sites, after having recovered remains of more than 400 republican south carolina primary results people at four sites last year. The AP has extensively researched U.S. south carolina scholastic art awards military and diplomatic archives from the Korean War in recent years, at times relying on once-secret documents it obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests and declassification reviews. The declassified U.S. record and other sources offer further glimpses of the mass killings. A North Korean newspaper said 1,000 prisoners were slain in Incheon, just west of Seoul, in late June 1950 — a report partly corroborated by a declassified U.S. Eighth Army document of July 1950 saying “400 Communists” had been killed in Incheon. The North Korean report claimed a U.S. military adviser had given the order. As the front moved south, in July’s first days, Air Force intelligence officer Donald Nichols witnessed and photographed the shooting of an estimated 1,800 prisoners in Suwon, 20 miles south of Seoul, Nichols reported in a little-noted memoir in 1981, a decade before his death. Around the same time, farther south, the Daejeon killings began. Winslow recalled he declined an invitation to what a senior officer called the “turkey shoot”

south shore mall

outside the city, but other U.S. officers did attend, taking grisly photos of the human slaughter that would be kept classified for a half-century. Journalist Alan Winnington, of the British communist Daily Worker newspaper, entered Daejeon with North Korean troops after July 20 and reported that the killings were carried out for three days in early July and two or three days in mid-July. He wrote that his witnesses claimed jeeploads of American officers “supervised the butchery.” Secret CIA and Army intelligence communications reported on the Daejeon and Suwon killings as early as July 3, but said nothing about snorkel south florida the U.S. presence or about any U.S. oversight. In mid-August, MacArthur, in Tokyo, learned of the mass shooting of 200 to 300 people near Daegu, including women and a 12- or 13-year-old girl. A top-secret Army report from Korea, uncovered by AP research, told of the “extreme cruelty” of the South Korean military policemen. The bodies fell into a ravine, where hours later some “were still alive and moaning,” wrote a U.S. military policeman who happened on the scene. Although MacArthur had command of South Korean forces from early in the war, he took no action on this report, other than to refer it to John J. Muccio, U.S. ambassador in South Korea. Muccio later wrote that he urged South Korean officials to stage executions humanely south kitsap little league and only after due process of law. The AP found that during this same period, on Aug. 15, Brig. Gen. Francis W. Farrell, chief U.S. military adviser to the South Koreans, recommended the U.S. command investigate the executions. There was no sign such an inquiry was conducted. A month later, the Daejeon raindance farm south range wis execution photos were sent to the Pentagon in Washington, with a U.S. colonel’s report that the South Koreans had killed “thousands” of political prisoners. The declassified record shows an equivocal U.S. attitude continuing into the fall, when Seoul was retaken and South Korean forces began shooting residents who collaborated with the northern occupiers. When Washington’s British allies protested, Dean Rusk, assistant secretary of state, told them U.S. commanders were doing “everything they can to curb such atrocities,” according to a Rusk memo of Oct. 28, 1950. But on Dec. 19, W.J. Sebald, State Department liaison to MacArthur, cabled Secretary of State Dean Acheson to say MacArthur’s command viewed the killings as a South Korean “internal matter” and had “refrained from taking any action.” It was the British who took action, according to news reports at the time. On Dec. 7, in occupied North Korea, British officers saved 21 civilians lined up to be shot, by threatening to shoot the South Korean officer responsible. Later that month, British troops seized “Execution Hill,” outside Seoul, to block further mass killings there. To quiet the protests, the South Koreans barred journalists from execution sites and the State Department told diplomats to avoid commenting on atrocity reports. Earlier, the U.S. Embassy in London had denounced as “fabrication” Winnington’s Daily Worker reporting on the Daejeon slaughter. The Army eventually blamed all the thousands south american raintree of Daejeon deaths on the North Koreans, who in fact had carried out executions of rightists there and elsewhere. An American historian of the Korean War, the University of Chicago’s Bruce Cumings, sees a share of U.S. guilt in what happened in 1950. “After the fact — with thousands murdered — the U.S. not only did nothing, but covered up the Daejeon massacres,” he said. Another Korean War scholar, Allan R. Millett, an emeritus Ohio State professor, is doubtful. “I’m not sure there’s enough evidence to pin culpability on these guys,” he said, referring to the advisers and other Americans. The swiftness and nationwide nature of the 1950 roundups and mass killings point to orders from the top, President Rhee and his security chiefs, Korean historians say. Those officials are long dead, and Korean documentary evidence is scarce. To piece together a fuller story, investigators of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission will sift through tens of thousands of pages of declassified U.S. documents. The commission’s mandate extends to at least 2010, and its president, historian Ahn Byung-ook, expects to turn then to Washington for help in finding the truth. “Our plan is that when we complete our investigation of cases involving the U.S. Army, we’ll make an overall recommendation, a request to the U.S. government to conduct an overall investigation,” he said.

By Melinda Waldrop | 247-4634 August 6, 2008 1 2 next Christopher Newport is back atop USA South football — for now, anyway. The Captains, coming off a 7-3 overall record and 6-1 conference mark for second place in 2007, were picked to win the league in Tuesday's preseason coaches' poll. CNU shared conference titles in 2001, '02, '03, '04 and '06. So how much stock does Captains coach Matt Kelchner put in August predictions? "None," Kelchner said. "I don't put any stock in it. I like the (poll) that's at the end of the season a whole lot better." An experienced running game is one factor that could have CNU in first place in November, too.
