Barbara Boxer Diane Feinstein Amy Klobuchar Ronald Wyden Benjamin Cardin Roland Burris
Who are the remaining three?
Ping!
Who cares hopefully they will keep them also.
I vote or sending those six + AL GOre in trade for the girls.
Send Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Amy Klobuchar, Ronald Wyden, Benjamin Cardin and Roland Burris! Maybe the Nokos will KEEP THEM!
Wonder how vocal these Senators would be if it were not journalists who worked for Al Gore?
Now the Dems are taking us to war and no on has been killed.
How easily they forget 9/11!
High level envoys? Nonsense.
Send THE ONE himself. He still believes he can change our enemies’ minds with talk without preconditions or pre-arrangements. I’m sure they’d welcome THE ONE with open arms. Or at least arms of some kind.
Just don’t show him the video of the N. Korean soldier killing one of ours in the ‘truce’ zone with an ax some years ago. It might change his mind.
I’d like to nominate algore to accompany them. They were working for him. If hostages are going to be taken, we certainly won’t miss him.
I’m still flabbergasted that those two idiots were stupid enough to sneak in to North Korea, fer heaven’s sake. Definitely they deserve the Dumb@sses Of The Year award.
Maybe Obama can appoint an Envoy Czar...
Send Jesse. He loves that nonsense.

For what it is worth to FR and the wider world (and maybe not specifically germaine to this thread) but I am picking up random speculation that North Korea may well have a clever plot to entice a major American political figure under diplomatic protection (which they will not honor in fact) up to North Korea to free those two female journalists. This individual or individuals would themselves be seized on some trumped up charge by the North Koreans (this is entirely possible in/with their mindset--Swedish Embassy intervention or no intervention--and particularly if they abrogated their membership with the United Nations simultaneously). The DPRK would then ostensibly insist they would not release such US official or officials back to the United States unless they (the Obama Administration) prevail upon South Korea to trade high-level North Korean defector Hwang Jang-yop , where he would be headed for certain execution--they have already imprisoned his family members and assassinated others that made it to South Korea, as well as defector Ri Han Yong--nephew of Kim Jong il's mistress--was taken down in direct retaliation to Hwang's defection to South Korea. Such a high stakes/high level trade could probably come at the truce village in Panmunjom (38th paralell north of Seoul where other switches have occured). The US would dearly want those Americans back and the North Koreans dearly want Hwang for the ultimate punishment and retribution. I think the State Department is for certain calling off these ill-advised humanitarian, Jesse Jackson-type missions to Pyongyang. If not, and something like this does happen, the State Department official who chopped the paper and gave approval to such a mission, is going to be in deep shit. Like I say, these rumors float around at the oddest places and times, some of them in smokey late night bull sessions around town."
