Rodong Sinmun on U.S. Smear Campaign against DPRK

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary denounces the U.S. political, economic and military pressure on the DPRK as a shameless campaign which can be made only by those who dream of stifling its system, quite indifferent to the settlement of the nuclear issue. The DPRK regards the U.S. unreasonable smear campaign against it as an unpardonable insult to the Korean people, the commentary says, and goes on: The U.S. vicious human rights abuses committed in Afghanistan and Iraq go to prove that the U.S. is an international group of criminals most heinously violating human rights in the world.
    It is nonsense and the height of shamelessness and plot that such a criminal group isolated and rejected by the international community dares insult the dignified DPRK as a "criminal state".
    It is none other than the United States that blocks the settlement of the nuclear issue and the progress of the six-party talks.
    The U.S. is working hard to force the DPRK to "abandon its nuclear program first", economically blockade it and hamper its building of a great prosperous powerful nation. To tell the truth, it intends to brand the DPRK as a "criminal state" to build up world public and, on this basis, more legitimately strengthen its moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
    The Korean army and people with strong independence and pluck neither care whatever the U.S. may say nor shake in its sanctions and pressure. Whatever the U.S. may do, it does not work on their pluck. The U.S. had better clearly understand the DPRK's toughest countermeasure and act with discretion.
