August 4th, 2009 North Korea releases the two American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling after being sentenced to 12 years hard labor in their state sponsored prisons.

What can be learned from all of this? President Clinton went there as a private citizen and accomplished a negotiation without any government help. This proves that a private citizen can accomplish a big task. DO NOT applaud our government for this applaud the efforts of private citizen former President Bill Clinton.

Even though I disagree with President Clinton politically, I thank him for going there and I am really excited that these two women get to come home.

Thanks and God Bless!

President Clinton arrived in North Korea’s capital Pyongyang today 8/4/09 to negotiate the release of two captured American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee. Ling and Lee are journalists for Al Gore’s new news channel called Current TV. They were around the border of China and North Korea when they were captured. North Korea claimed they were crossing borders and were captured then sentenced to 12 years hard labor in one of N. Korea’s “gulag” prisons.

Here is a picture of the two women captured:

The importance of this is that these women have been detained since March and there is finally someone going there and fighting for these girl’s freedom.
