“The North Korean government, which in June sentenced the women to 12 years of hard labor for illegally entering North Korean territory”… excerpt.
How do you think they entered North Korea without sneaking in? It certainly isn’t open to the public.

I wonder why no one has said what this act is going to cost the USA.And now are the 3 that went into Iran also looking for a story and ended up in jail.These two women went into North Korea looking for a story.Idiotic.The ones in Iran did the same.What is it with americans that think they can go anywhere and their Government will bail them out?.Idiotic.

I have teared up every time today that I have encountered these pictures on-line. I’m so happy that these women are home to their families. Yes they shouldn’t have “tresspassed”, but journalists frequently go where they shouldn’t in order to bring us the news. Not to mention when they risk their necks by going into war zones.

@kammy — There is no proof that they did anything illegal. Their trial was not broadcast to anyone and they were not able to defend themselves on the charges. It’s laughable that anyone would argue that the journalists deserved to be tried, convicted and sentenced to 12 years hard labor for “trespassing”.

@ Chase, well that’s the whole point, isn’t it. It’s a communist country that hates America- you can’t expect them to treat people as fairly as we do here, just for that exact reason. So breaking THEIR law and somehow expect to get a slap on the wrist as an American is stupid in my opinion. It’s akin to an American breaking into Osama’s lair to get photos of him, all the while hoping that he spares you when you do get caught.

@ Kammy – Yes, it was illegal in the first place but the punishment was ridiculously severe. And, it didn’t have nothing to do with the act being illegal in the first place. In my opinion, they just used the charges for being “illegal” but the sentencing itself was a message to the Americans. I highly believe that if any other citizen that were non-American wouldn’t even get half the punishment that North Korea has put on these two women right here. Ridiculous! It was just a statement and had nothing to do with what’s fair and what’s wrong. North Korea just wants people to know that they’re serious and what not. It’s all show basically. But I’m glad Bill Clinton got the job done! Go Bill!

First of all, I’m happy they’ve returned safely back to their families. I can’t help a massive ::eye roll:: at the sheer stupidity in going there ILLEGALLY in the first place. Even though I admire their intentions, it was incredibly stupid, and I wasn’t surprised at the harsh treatment they received. American do-gooders can’t just assume that the rest of the world (especially the not-so-pleasant parts of it) will kow-tow to their efforts at exposing ills in their societies. Meh…!
Oh yeah, @ Rosa, that blond boy sure is hot!

Kim Jong Crazy keeps his people so under his thumb that they probably think Clinton is still the President.

I agree with Mariah – Regardless of his own personal issues, Bill Clinton was a terrific President and he still is my favorite President. Kudos to him!

Bill Clinton may have his imperfections (as all humans do), but he is someone who served as a great president while in office and lived (and still lives) as a determined, whole-hearted man out of office. Go Clinton!!

Clinton has always been my favorite President. I get why Obama couldn’t send negotiators, and I think it’s too bad President Clinton had to go, but in a way I’m glad. He’s done so many great things after leaving office. He’s really a true civil servant.
