Reuters " North Korea put two U.S. journalists on charges of illegally entering the state with "hostile intent," in a case that could worsen tension with Washington after Pyongyang's nuclear test last week.
"The journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling of the U.S. media outlet Current TV, were arrested in March near the border between China and North Korea while working on a story. The TV network was co-founded by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.
"Experts say the pair could face a sentence of 10 years or more of hard labor in the reclusive state. They add a guilty verdict is almost certain in a North Korean justice system that protects the unquestioned rule of leader Kim Jong-il"
****so what is the deal here? are these two ladies unbelievably stupid and arrogant and along with that bad map readers? what business did they have going into north korea in the first place? they claim to be "journalists" and presumably that means that war and the other horrors of the world are spectator sports. most of the media doesn't give a hoot when a young soldier dies in iraq, but let it be one of their own and boy do they make a deal out of it.
here is an idea. the united states should go to war over this incident and have thousands of americans die for nothing just like the last time we went up against the north koreans. it will be a great story for the six people who watch current tv. it figures that al gore would give us another media outlet that you just can't trust.
