Media finally calls killer "Seung-hui Cho"

 This is a late posting, but I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to those at Virginia Tech. I only mention it today because a bunch of us wrote letters to cnn and nytimes about the media calling the gunman by his last name first ("Cho Seung-hui") to make him seem more Korean and less American even though he grew up (elementary, middle school, high school, college) in the US and all his official records say "Seung-hui Cho". Today, NY times and CNN finally began to call him "Seung-hui Cho".

So it took a statement from the family for the dumb associated press to change the name:
