The following article will be appended to your message: Digging Too Deep at No Gun Ri By Seth Ackerman In September 1999, the Associated Press published a dramatic investigative story documenting a massacre of civilians by American soldiers during the Korean War. Eyewitness testimony was gathered from American veterans who said that they had fired--on the orders of their superiors--into a group of hundreds of Korean civilians fleeing the fighting at a place called No Gun Ri. Those veterans corroborated the testimony of Koreans who survived the 1950 massacre, as well as U.S. military documents. In addition to sparking a joint investigation by the Pentagon and its South Korean counterpart, AP's story immediately won attention from major U.S. news outlets. The New York Times and Washington Post both ran the report on their front pages (9/30/99). Other major papers, like the Chicago Tribune and Newsday, also ran the story or published articles based on AP's findings. ABC (9/29/99) and NBC (9/30/99) each aired a segment on their nightly news about the "mystery" or the "shocking story" of No Gun Ri. Later, some of the networks followed up with more detailed examinations of the story. ABC's Nightline (10/21/99) aired a well-researched report by Chris Bury interviewing some of the veterans and reconstructing the incident. Dateline NBC (12/28/99) chose to personalize its coverage, focusing on "a soldier's story"--that of veteran Edward Daily. In April 2000, the AP's team of No Gun Ri reporters were rewarded for their efforts with a Pulitzer Prize.
