Journalists Freed!
Bill Clinton is pretty awesome. He secretly traveled to North Korea yesterday to ask for the pardon of Euna Lee and Laura Ling. Two hours ago they arrived in Los Angeles, free and in The United States. It's amazing that this happened, that they didn't get sent to a hard labor camp or worse. The Two Current TV journalists were captured on March 17 and have spent the last 140 days imprisoned in North Korea. This success is what all jailed, captured and killed journalists should receive from the American government when they're overseas on assignments. Former Vice President Al Gore (who is also the co-founder of Current TV)and President Bill Clinton worked for months to bring these women home. This is a positive news story, a happy ending. That's all for today folks. Welcome home Euan Lee and Laura Ling!
