The plaintiffs should keep fighting for their own right by focusing on NHK's violation of media ethics. What NHK did against the BAWW-NET is apparently, a deception, an interpellation, and a manipulation. Here are the two things that need to be addressed:

The stunning news of his death came into my ear this early morning when I was listening to NPR's All Things Considered on AFN(Eagle 810).
