We could take a lesson from North Korea,If you enter the country Illegally you get 12 years in a work camp,what a great idea. What the hell were those two women thinking anyway? maybe they were drinking Koolaid and lost their way?..Maybe they will get out in 4 or 5 years,and I'll bet they stay the hell away fro North Korea.....How is the Secretary of State going to defend someone who crosses the border illegally and gets caught?...

I think Hillary Clinton have forgotten something very important, human rights is plain ideology according to her President and she stand beside him saying it's not a priority for this current administration. You're flipflopping like a fish Hillary. I used to support you, not anymore. Just be happy Nokor will release those two women sent by Al Gore or else NOKOR will change its mind.

I have mixed feelings on this one. These two now admit they entered the country by choice, not by accident. They took a gamble and lost and now they want this country to bail them out. Grow up. North Korea is not a catch and release country -

Why should Clinton have to waste her time with this?
These two stupid women crossed the border illegally. They were trying to make a name for themselves, as journalists, by breaking some story.

Now we're hearing all this moaning about "one of them has an illness" – "one of them has a child". TOO BAD. They had the illness and the child before they left. They shouldn't have done something so stupid then expect the world to turn on end to try to rescue them.

I say leave them there.

Why do we look so weak dealing with North Korea. This is effectively kidnapping.

I certainly hope this gets those women home. Having said that, once they get here, the US government should revoke their passports and make them reimburse the government for any money expended in getting their release. They violated the border of North Korea and put our government in the position of changing our actions in fear of North Korea doing something to them in retaliation. We are trying to stop that country from obtaining and using nuclear weapons against us and what these women did was completely irresponsible and damaging to diplomacy.

All I can say about North Korea is "bombs away"! Like the old saying goes "you mess with the bull you'll get the horns" and not in a good way!

would North Korea listen to

the US which has been the worst violator of international laws and rules and

release illegal tresspassers from the aggressive enemy country?

reality is always stranger than fiction.

It should make all americans happy and proud to see this highly
intelligent and extremely smart woman discharge the duties of her
high office.
Obama made a very intelligent choice.

I'm so glad we cleared up that whole "appeasement" issue during the campaign. Or I would not know what to make of our current international policy. At least I know it's not appeasement. LOL

OMG. Are we ging to have to apologize to everyone now/ How weak is this administration? What did these two journalist do other than be journalists? I hope all you reporters who get all warm and tingly up and down your leg watch what is going on and put yourself in these two American journalists position. I guess America doesn't defend other country's who believe in freedom, why should we defend our own press?

Let them rot. They broke the law in North Korea and they should pay for it.

While they serve their time, our State Department should be getting more important work done. Like the issues with China, Honduras, Russia, etc.

This administration never met an issue it wouldn't apologize for. Where's Al "Carbon Credits" Gore been HIDING. Aren't these HIS employees. Perhaps he still trying to get that stain out of his blue dress....
