Parliamentary standoff

Rep. Choo Kyung-ho, center, floor leader of the ruling People Power Party, raises an objection to National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik, third from right, during an interpellation session at the National Assembly in Seoul, Wednesday, before the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea tabled a contentious bill mandating a special counsel investigation into the military's response to a Marine's death last year. The ruling party launched a filibuster in protest, disrupting the interpellation session. Yonhap
