The commentary referred to the disclosure of the shocking fact that the same toxic chemicals as what was buried in the U.S. forces base in Waegwan were detected in the soil and underground water in the U.S. forces base in Puphyong, Inchon.

It is natural to survey U.S. forces bases not only in Waegwan but in all areas of south Korea, it urged, and continued:

The joint investigation of the U.S. forces and the south Korean "government" now under way cannot guarantee the impartiality.

It called for halting the joint investigation and forming an all-people investigation team, not bound to the unequal south Korea-U.S. SOFA, so as to probe the truth about the case without fail.

Members of the Inchon City Assembly issued a statement on May 29 urging the puppet government to investigate the environmental pollution in the U.S. forces base in Puphyong, according to south Korean MBC.

Members of the Taegu and North Kyongsang Provincial Measure Committee for Probing the Truth about the Burial of Defoliant in the U.S. forces bases held a rally in Chilgok County, North Kyongsang Province on the same day at which they demanded the probe into the truth about the crimes of the U.S. forces, south Korean KBS reported.
