Korea always amazes me that incoming presidents have to worry about files being destroyed!

President-elect Lee Myung-bak’s Transition Committee on Thursday urged Cheong Wa Dae to hand over all administrative records intact. Committee Vice Chairman Kim Hyong-o, in an apparent warning against the temptations to destroy files, said, "We expect the current government to preserve records of all activities it has carried out and faithfully cooperate with the Transition Committee in submitting data the committee will request in the future."

A committee official said, "There is a chance that Cheong Wa Dae and government agencies will attempt to destroy data of their policy failures, or that the National Intelligence Service and the National Tax Service will attempt to systematically cover up how they leaked personal information of president-elect Lee Myung-bak."

It ain't over 'til it's over. I look for the other party to keep looking for something to condemn Mr. Lee for the activities that went on during his former job. Checks and balances. Probably a good idea, but hard to follow.

Like in all political races, the victory is not always to the swift!
Happy New Year!
