Well here is some good news.American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling were freed today from their 12 year labor sentence in North Korea. Amazing! Right?
Let's hope so. The two journalists were arrested on the North Korean border for allegedly crossing into North Korea territory (yeah, ok DPRK...) and were sentenced to twelve years of hard labor for 'crimes against the state.' Bill Clinton, seemingly out of the blue, flew to North Korea and said what apparantly were the right things. The prisoners were freed this morning.
What did Bill Clinton say? Just apologize? Did he threaten them with death (not likely)? Whatever it was, it worked. Maybe he said nothing....maybe DPRK was happy just to have attention.
Either way, a special congrats to Bill. Way to go!
