But the findings were a blow to President Park Geun-hye, who had vehemently accused her opposition rival, Moon Jae-in, of a political offensive when his party first made accusations of illegal campaign activities by intelligence agents.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ms. Park, the governing party candidate, won the election by a margin of one million votes.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The case revived long-held suspicions among South Koreans over the role of the National Intelligence Service. The country’s former military dictators — including Ms. Park’s father, the late President Park Chung-hee — had used the agency, once known by its infamous acronym, K.C.I.A., to torture and silence dissidents and influence domestic politics.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">After the country democratized in the early 1990s, the agency, which has changed its name a few times, repeatedly vowed not to intervene in politics.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">On Thursday, Lee Kwang-seok, chief of the Suseo Police Station in Seoul, admitted difficulties investigating the secretive agency. The supervisor of the two agents, who are from the intelligence service’s psychological intelligence bureau, refused to be questioned, Mr. Lee said.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The police asked prosecutors to formally indict the two agents, whose names were not released, on charges of violating a law that requires intelligence officers to maintain political neutrality. A third person, not affiliated with the agency, faces a criminal charge of helping the agents in their online operation.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The police, citing a lack of evidence, stopped short of accusing the agents of a more politically volatile crime of violating the country’s election law, a decision the opposition party called a whitewash.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Political parties had earlier agreed to conduct a separate parliamentary inquiry. Prosecutors have also barred the former intelligence service director, Won Sei-hoon, a close ally of former President Lee Myung-bak, from leaving the country.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">There was no immediate reaction from Ms. Park’s office or the intelligence service. The agency had earlier denied interfering in the election. It said its officers’ online activities had been part of its normal psychological operations aimed at North Korea.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Park Yong-jin, spokesman for the Democratic United Party, said Thursday that the case showed that the agency was “'a chambermaid of political power,” and compared the campaign activities of which it is accused to a “coup d'etat.”</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Mr. Park also accused the national police of dragging their feet in investigating the case, out of fear of offending President Park. The police said the investigation was continuing.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The case began when police officers and officials from the National Election Commission knocked on the door of a room in an office and residential complex in southern Seoul on Dec. 11, just over a week before the election. They were responding to a tip from the opposition party that a 29-year-old agent was running an illegal online election campaign operation from there.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">But they could not even enter the room, as the agent had locked herself in. A political standoff erupted. The opposition accused the intelligence service of blocking an investigation. Ms. Park and her party accused the opposition of harassing the woman. The police took two days to obtain two computers from the woman and another two days before questioning her for the first time.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Three days before the election, the police said they had found no evidence of illegal online activities. After the election, however, the police said further investigations revealed that the woman used 16 Internet user IDs to upload numerous comments often criticizing opposition candidates on politically sensitive issues. Still later, they questioned a second agent and a person who was said to have been hired by the agents to assist them in their work.</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="clear: none; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 돋움, dotum;"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: 돋움, dotum;"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="clear: none; font-size: 12px;"><tbody><tr><td class="view_t" id="font_title" style="font-family: 돋움; font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -0.1em; line-height: 30px; padding-bottom: 5px;">뉴욕타임즈 “국정원 사건 朴 대통령 타격”…외신들 보도 봇물</td></tr><tr><td class="sub" id="font_subtitle" style="font-family: 돋움; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); letter-spacing: -0.1em;">외신들 국정원 사건 비중있게 다뤄… 재외동포들 세계 여론 작업화 활동 펼쳐<br><br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=108872" target="_blank" class="tx-link">http://www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=108872</a><br><br><br></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></p></div></p>
논쟁에서 이기는 최선의 방법은 논쟁을 피하는데 있다.  - 벤자민 프랭클린 
논쟁은 예외없이 자신에 대한 확신으로 끝나 버린다. 그러므로 논쟁에서 이기는 것은 불가능하다. 상대를 완벽하게 때려 눕혔다해도 그 결과 진 쪽은 열등감을 갖게 되고 자존심이 상해 분개할 것이다. 사람이란 아무리 억지로 설득해도, 결국 수긍하지 않는다. \"논쟁이나 반박을 하면서 상대를 이긴듯한 느낌이 들 수도 있다. 그러나 그것은 헛된 승리다. 상대의 호의는 절대로 얻을수 없을 수 없으니까.\"   
상대방을 비평하거나 틀렸다고 말하지 말자.    - 제임스 하비 로빈슨
우리에게 소중한 것은 그 생각 자체가 아니라 다른 사람들로부터 도전받는 우리의 자존심인 것이다.
