For whatever the reasons Kim Jung Il who we can now verify is alive apparently prefers to deal with Slick than Her Royal Thighness or anyone in the Obama White House so we gotta hand it to the old' rapist as he got the people on their way home.
I'm just wondering what the ransom was that we'll be paying in one way or another be it food subsidies or whatever, you know this wasn't done for free. That's for damn sure I'd bet anything.
I just wish these liberal journalists would keep out of harms way in these war zones and the likes, they're multimillion dollar gifts that these countries and that hate us love to exploit, as we know freakin Iran is doing the same damn thing to us right now as well/
CNN.com: " North Korean President Kim Jong Il has pardoned and ordered the release of two U.S. journalists, state-run news agency KCNA said Wednesday.
The announcement came after former U.S. President Bill Clinton met with top North Korean officials in Pyongyang to appeal for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who had been arrested while reporting from the border between North Korea and China.
'Clinton expressed words of sincere apology to Kim Jong Il for the hostile acts committed by the two American journalists against the DPRK after illegally intruding into it,' the news agency reported. 'Clinton courteously conveyed to Kim Jong Il an earnest request of the U.S. government to leniently pardon them and send them back home from a humanitarian point of view.""The meetings had candid and in-depth discussions on the pending issues between the DPRK and the U.S. in a sincere atmosphere and reached a consensus of views on seeking a negotiated settlement of them."
The report said Clinton then conveyed a message from President Obama "expressing profound thanks for this and reflecting views on ways of improving the relations between the two countries."
It added, "The measure taken to release the American journalists is a manifestation of the DPRK's humanitarian and peace-loving policy.
"The DPRK visit of Clinton and his party will contribute to deepening the understanding between the DPRK and the U.S. and building the bilateral confidence."
DPRK is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the nation's official name.
The two American journalists had been held in the reclusive communist nation since their arrest in March.
A statement from their families was posted Tuesday on the Web site lauraandeuna.com:
"The families of Laura Ling and Euna Lee are overjoyed by the news of their pardon. We are so grateful to our government: President Obama, Secretary Clinton and the U.S. State Department for their dedication to and hard work on behalf of American citizens. We especially want to thank President Bill Clinton for taking on such an arduous mission and Vice President Al Gore for his tireless efforts to bring Laura and Euna home." more
