who is to blame for death of james kim?

Last week, Senator Dianne Feinstein called on the Interior Department to investigate the circumstances that led to the death of James Kim—namely, the unlocked gate on an Oregon logging road that the Kim family drove down before getting lost and stranded in the snow for over a week: Senator wants probe into man's death. Basically, who screwed up and left the gate unlocked? These are definitely questions that need to be asked. But in the end, you can lay blame all you want... it won't bring James Kim back.

Here's a special column in the Washington Post by Spencer H. Kim, James' father: The Lessons In My Son's Death. A month later, and reading about this tragedy still breaks my heart.
