The Verdict is in and eventhough I’m a few days late on this news, I’d like to add my 100won anyway. The two American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee have just been given their verdict and the news isn’t good. Both journalists have been charged with unspecified crimes against the North Korean Government. Now that the ladies have become international political bargaining chips the games can begin!
Because, you know, it’s all a game to high commander insano and he’s the great checkers grandmaster. At this point the journalist’s only hope relies on the diplomatic prowess of some of America’s power brokers: Richardson and Gore. It’s funny how only after they have been changed and sentenced to hard labor at a camp that their chance of freedom remains open. Though word on the cable news channels is that once they’ve actually gone to the camp they’re basically there for good.
Those two gals must be scared out of their minds. Who wants to be used in an international game of cat and mouse on the world stage? They don’t have an agenda except to get back to their families. Hopefully something or someone can get that done.
