If they are reporters or journalists, I am officially the Queen of Sheba. Bow down. What was Algore thinking sending two naive but well indoctrinated young women into the heart of darkness that is the North Korean border? You might almost imagine this was some kind of set-up.

Yes, they acknowledged they crossed illegally in order to get the amnesty/pardon.

I am curious if a couple of missionaries captured while passing out Bibles would have been as high on the priority rescue list.

Still though, I’m glad the girls are safe. I hope they’ve learned that there was a reason N.K. was on Bush’s axis of evil list, that evil dictators and “going green” don’t necessarily go together.

“Have the two acknowledged whether they crossed illegally into North Korea and thereby precipitated the crisis?”

Yes, they did.

So what have we learned about how the two women reporters were captured by North Korea?
We learned that Bubba will fly half-way around the world for a couple of Asian chicks.

I’m just glad they’re out of that hole. No doubt they mouthed the words that needed to be mouthed to get free.

Even if they did cross illegally, all that deserves is a slap on the hand, a verbal dressing down, maybe a monetary fine, and getting booted out of the country with future enterance denied. Not 15 years hard labor. That’s just stuid.

Clue #1: Don't work for Al Gore.

Clue #2: Don't go where you KNOW it could be dangerous.

We know very little about the incident. The media in not interested in the background to the story so it must not be supportive of the dimocRATS. It will be awhile before the truth comes out.

Ive learned that one didnt care about her child enough to be at home with her, instead of playing junior commando on the Nork border.

Bill them or their employer for every cost associated with their release.

They cause the problem, and now they are the victims.

what i want to hear from the reporters is something along the lines of this:

“We are grateful to be released and happy to be back home, although our time was tough, it was NOTHING compared to the suffering/torture/perseceution of the hundreds of thousands of North Koreans who are in the Hard Labor Camps. we should work to have them ALL released, etc. etc.”

But, i doubt that anything like this will come out of them.

Why do we have to “learn” something from every dang thing that happens?

All I want to know is what it cost the U.S. to spring these dimwits. What did we promise Kim-Jung Mentally Il? Any deal involving Clinton, Gore and Obama has got to be a loser for our country.

Might as well ask them to tell the truth about global warming. They work for the biggest liar on the planet,,i don’t see how they can possibly be trusted when they say what “really happened”.

Smart move.
