Current TV reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee, held in North Korea since March on vague charges, received “harsher sentences than many outsider expected:” reportedly twelve years of “reform through labor.”
The media wonder: Will Al Gore, Current TV’s co-founder, go to Pyongyang to negotiate their release?

I think that's a perfectly legitimate question. He gave his name to this company, so he should put his life into defending the reporters who were captured.

I hope these women are freed but the US has captured 100rds of people who are being held without even a trial. So we are hardly in a position to talk about justice

If you cannot see the difference between imprisoning terrorists who were executing children for flying kites, throwing batter acid on the faces of school girls and murdering people for listening to music and jailing two journalists who flirted with an arbitrary border then you need some professional help.

If you cannot see that we arrest innocent people while letting the extremists you named go free, you don't deserve the right to vote.
