Trade them for Al Gore. They were working for his TV station. Sounds like a fair trade...

Where are all the left-wing groups at? They were up in arms when panties were on terrorists’ heads but now crickets are chirping.

According to Al Gore, the world will be ended in ten years.

Automatic 2 year reduction in sentence for these two journalists.

Kim Jong-il’s next test for Obama. I think he is pushing the envelope to see what will get more than an strongly worded letter. He may even be trying to provoke obama into doing something that will “justify” a military response by Kim Jong-il.

I wonder if the State Department has regrets about publicly stating they are considering putting NK back on the terror list? (Or did the WH make that statement--I forget)

“Can we trade them for Helen Thomas?”

Helen Thomas, Wolf Blitzer and the bunny eyed freak Anderson “Why Does Everyone Think I’m Gay” Cooper? With Campbell Brown as a bone us? I would have included Olbermann, but that would have been too mean to the NK...

I wonder how many tears OThuga will share.

Or, even their colleagues in the MSM, for that matter.

What WERE they thinking that they’d even go there?

Oh, right . . . MSM folks are lobotomized as a condition for employment. I forgot.

Honestly, though, what the heck were Americans doing over in NK for ANY reason?

According to the article, working for Al Gore.

Perfect for Charlie. He won’t do anything about the Nukes so he’ll maybe use these two as a distraction...if he gets the memo on their incarceration and has the time to read it.

Obama cannot waste time on 2 American citizens held in North Korea....he is too busy saving Moslems from us.

That’s what this is all about. These two are now bargaining chips. Also, if we attack NK, then they’re dead. NK is preparing for something.

The first reports came out that the two reporters figured they can sneak over the border for a better camera shot because they could not see any North Korean guards anywhere. Their camera man made it back to the Chinese side and is currently in San Francisco. He is told to keep his mouth shut and is kept away from the public. His employer did not want to jeopardize the women on trial if the camera man said something wrong like yea we snuck over to get a better camera shot. These two women reporters got to be dumb as crap to even pull a stunt like that. Maybe in the US one can trespass to get a story, but this is North Korea they are dealing with.

I thought gore was going over there to help them. After all, they work for him. Wonder if North Korea would think about a trade.

Al Gore is a joke. He couldn't negotiate a lowered rate at a Motel 8 let alone save the lives of these journalists. I wonder when the libiots will wake up to the danger the left’s passivity and their dear leader have put us all in.

Maybe Roger Clinton has some clout with the North Koreans? He is like Elvis over there.
