NKorea to indict US journalists: state media

Mon Mar 30, 3:53 pm ET

SEOUL (AFP) – North Korea is preparing to indict two detained US journalists after it accused them of illegally entering the communist country, state media said early Tuesday.

"The illegal entry of US reporters into the DPRK and their suspected hostile acts have been confirmed by evidence and their statements," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

The report said "a competent organ of the DPRK (North Korea)" had investigated the pair.

"The organ is carrying on its investigation and, at the same time, making a preparation for indicting them at a trial on the basis of the already confirmed suspicions," the report said.

The pair, Euna Lee, a Korean-American, and Laura Ling, a Chinese-American, who work for Current TV in California, would be allowed consular access and would be treated according to international law, it added.

Backing off from intercepting the missile is rewarded by you-know-what.

Current TV? So, what did Al Gore know and when did he know it?

Check out Current TV’s web site some time. (current.com)

It’s a San Francisco based leftist “alternative media” site.

These two bimbos entered the DPRK illegally and no doubt thought they could use their charm, sense of entitlement and liberal superiority to bully the North Koreans into letting them go if they got caught. Good luck with that. Personally I hope Kim likes them.

I am expecting their weeping confession followed by the plea to U.S. government to recognize N. Korea's status as a nuclear power. In the background, you may see the hooded men in ninja suit on each side of Kim Jong-il portrait hung on the wall.:-)

Is there a Soros connection? Gore doesn’t have the money to fund Current TV!

I agree. But first these two will have to attempt to demonstrate their moral superiority to their captors. For once in my life I fell sorry for North Korean prison guards.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been more of a choreographed campaign of media "outrage" over this. Maybe the MSM here doesn't realize that Al Gore is involved yet.

Gore has plenty of money to fund an operation like Current TV. His family owns mining and agribusiness interests in Tennessee and he's made a fortune off his books and movies peddling "global warming".

How much cash does it take to run an operation like this? All you need is big servers, a fast network connection, a few decent web developers and an army of young brain dead greens and other leftists (which we have in abundance around here) with hi8 cameras to provide you with politically appropriate content.

Gore has made tens of millions from free Google and apple options, as well as making $200k a speech to scream the sky is falling.

Hey, lighten up on Lil' Kim, et.al. Perhaps they've got laws over there about slanted journalism, and just want to see some objective coverage for once!

Looks like Barky, aka, The TOTUS, has no balls. Defense Secratary Gates said today they will allow the NK Rocket test to go on. And now this.

The TOTUS really has no clothes. Can we get a real President someday?
