Sun Kyung-Cho is employed by the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office, according to U.S. officials and a State Department staff directory that says she works from an annex near the department's headquarters in Washington.

The Virginia Tech gunman was her brother, Cho Seung-Hui. Thirty-three people died in the rampage Monday, including the 23-year-old student, who committed suicide.

Spokesman Sean McCormack declined to discuss Sun Cho's status but told reporters "this person is not a direct-hire employee of the State Department.'' He declined to comment further, citing privacy concerns. Other U.S. officials confirmed she works for a contractor.

The office was set up by President Bush to coordinate the reconstruction program in Iraq and offers jobs to "highly skilled and motivated United States citizens'' to work at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, according to State Department documents. The office also has several Washington-based positions.
"Our mission is to support the sovereign, democratic rights of the Iraqi people to govern themselves, defend their country, and rebuild their economy,'' the office says in its recruiting brochure. "This ongoing mission is one that is unprecedented in size and scope.''

1. I'm too exausted to consider this....

....but I guarantee that at the end of the day, it won't be some political, religious, spiritual, or aesthetic ideology behind all of that bloodshed in Virginia.

It'll just be the same extremely unhappy, angry, bitter screwed-up person with a gun.

'Night.

14. I don't blame you - I wouldn't either if I was witchhunting the kid's family.

15. Your "interest" multiplied 100 million times is hurtful to her. She lost a brother.

[MasonJar]

16. This is not appropriate. Just because her brother was an unstable

mass murderer does not reflect on her or her parents...and should not. Her brother was obviously psychologically disturbed and had shown extensive signs of mental disorder, which many people missed or did not alleviate, including couselors at VT. Since the professionals did not stop the debacle, how could his sister, who is obviously an exceptional young woman who graduated from Princeton? She might not haqve known of his extreme condition.
