12 Year sentence for 2 journalists in N. Korea
ketchup057 - June 08, 2009
It really should be no suprise that North Korea sentenced Laura Ling and Euna Lee of *Current TV (*Al Gore's other hobby, besides that "global warming" thing) to 12 YEARS of HARD labor. I'm sure they'll be worked to death before the 12 years is up. It's shocking and sad.
Some think this is just N. Korea's way of getting something out of the U.S and/or the U.N...like, maybe...food or something?
What can the U.S do?
Will they be released in exchange for, well, whatever?
Will they be out in months, instead of years?

Not acceptable?

Thank Heaven, they are free from the psycho , sicko, kim jung ILL. They are FREE!!!!!!!!! I can't imagine the relief and joy that their families are feeling. How wonderful for them. BUT, what exactly did Pres. Bill Clinton tell them (N.K.) to get them released? Who's soul did we sell? And why's Mr. Global Warming I invented the internet V.P. Al Gore being so silent? hmmm? Afterall, they were sent there as journalists by Gore's CURRENT T.V.? Well, whatever. The fact is that Laura Ling and Euna Lee are on a plane on the way back to the U.S.A is the only thing that matters to those who care. I suppose we'll deal with the fallout down the line. It's a small price to pay though, isn't it? That small thing called FREEDOM.

This is my question, too! 1. Why was Bill Clinton involved? and 2. What did he promise to get them released? The whole thing is a little weird.

Isn't it obvious,The Clinton's are a rock stars in N Korea. Of course Bill would be accepted in high regard. As for the two journalists they are just happen stance. If it wasn't them in the wrong place at the wrong time then it would have been someone else. The publicity for the whole event was enough to keep Ill in eurphoria (sp?). I think Ill had a big mac and coke with Clinton to save face and then decided to let the girls go. You don't want to give Mr. Ill to much credit. The only thing that man has in his back pocket is China if push comes to shove with the U.S. then it's time to start worrying. I just know never underestimate the power of prayer. The girls are safe and there's alot more people like them over seas that will need our prayers and support.
ok enough, I have to get back to my jurasic park movie...shoot I am out of popcorn and my diet coke is low... no vice....... I'm doomed..haha :):) talk to ya later ketchup
