North Korea Blocks Discussion of Abductions, Kidnappings if Japan Attends Talks
North Korea said Saturday it will not allow Japan to join multilateral talks over its nuclear weapons program if Tokyo insists on discussing the abduction of its citizens by the communist state.

The North's rejection could snarl ongoing efforts to restart six-nation nuclear talks, possible next month. The United States, China, Russia, Japan and the two Koreas held the first such talks in Beijing in August.

"If Japan, piggybacking the United States, continues to try to raise the abduction issue at the six-nation talks, we can never be condone its participation," the North's state-run KCNA news agency said.

Innocents Lost: North Korea Admits To Kidnapping Japanese Citizens 25 Years Ago
On Saturday, April 19, 2002, a small group of Japanese citizens visited Los Angeles to bring to a light an issue that few Americans have even heard about—their relatives were abducted by the North Korean government in the 1970’s and 80’s for the purpose of training spies to pass for Japanese nationals. Why would they do that? The unsettling reason makes Bush’s seemingly misplaced “Axis of Evil” speech echo in your ears—they did it as part of a coordinated effort to propagate terrorism. One of these spies, Kim Hyon Hui, who was posing as a Japanese citizen, was convicted of planting the time-bomb that brought down Korean Airlines Flight 858, killing 115 in 1987. He identified his Japanese teacher as Yaeko Taguchi, a 22-year-old bar hostess who disappeared in 1978 after dropping her kids off at day care.

While doing some more research I came across this article from Wikipedia.org. Here is the excerpt that caught my attention:
In the United States of America, during the 1980s there was an upsurge in the old belief of Satanic ritual abuse. Hundreds of thousands of Protestant Chrisitans became convinced that America was filled with child-sacrificing satanists. Church sermons, newsletters and websites, and soon letters to newspapers and magazines, were filled with grotesque claims of tens of thousands of American children being kidnapped and murdered by supposed Satanists. These ideas soon made their way into the mainstream American media, where they initially were reported uncritically. This led to a wave of arrests against hundreds of innocent American citizens, whose neighbors suddenly began accusing them of kidnapping, child abuse or murder. Hundreds of these people were accused of being witches or satanists, and incredibly, they were convicted by a jury. Only in the mid 1990s did the wave of witch hunts subside; since then the reports of tens of thousands of missing children have been proven totally false; there was no massive increase in kidnapping, abuse or murder. Most of the convicted "witches" or "satanists" have since been released from jail. The entire phenomenon is now considered by historians and psychologists to be an episode of mass delusion, and witch hunts, augmented by the pseudo-scientific "repressed memory syndrome" idea, which has also now been discredited.

Do any of you remember these particular events mentioned in the above excerpt? Particularly the part about the so called "witch hunts"?
