U.S. seeks amnesty for two held in North Korea

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.

Oh, I see, we now say they were guilty and shame on us. Wow!! I miss having some grit in the White House.

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 -

What about china?it's their neck of the woods.o wait nm they do the same thing and they are free trade partners /ponder.

Is that admitting that they were guilty of espionage??? Guess so.

USA will swap Hillary for the 2 women.

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.

Good luck Hillary......

wonder what al gore had them doing. Hope your better Hillary can't wait to see YOU back overseas next week. As Colin Powel said we need you.

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

No! We should say if you dont release them we will turn your country into a parking lot and we will accept the colateral damage.

Pray for them and for their release.

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.

They might just have been spies.We will never know.We cant even get the crooks and spies that are republicans.

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!

Maybe next we can say "pretty please."

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.

WOW - she's aged 10 years in 6 months. Maybe in over her head like Palin.

Why is obama sweeping Hillary under the rug?

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?

I hope things work out w/ this.......Those two women need to come home.

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....
