On Friday, a former security official unveiled a memo suggesting the Roh Moo-hyun administration consulted with North Korea before it abstained from voting on a U.N. resolution on the North‘s dire human rights situation in 2007. Moon was the presidential chief of staff at the time.

Using aggressive words, Moon criticized such offensives, Friday, as a new version of the „North Wind,“ a method of political sabotage allegedly employed by conservatives in the past to highlight issues on North Korea and national security to smear progressive candidates.
