Pyongyand, North Korea--Former President Clinton went to North Korea to bring journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee home. Mission Accomplished. Allowed by the Obama Administration, the hard workers who helped get this deal done also included: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for asking for amnesty, that set the tone; former Vice President Al Gore, Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, for their influences and former President William Clinton(Kim Jong has been waiting for a visit from you since the 1990's, when you were president). Better late then never.
Collectively, they all saved both journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee from a 12 year hard labor time for illegal entry and engaging in "Hostile acts".
Remember, in July when we were still mourning Michael Jackson's death, we totally forgot about that July 4, 2009, party North Korea wanted us to watch. Former President Clinton had a rare negotiation talk with the reclusive Kim Jong II in North Korea.
I like what our new Obama Administration have accomplished within the first 7 month of his presidency thus far. What a nice birthday gift. "Happy Birthday", President Obama.
To Laura Ling and Euna Lee, "Welcome home" ladies.
