North Korean Captured Journalists Return Home
We won't lie, we teared up at the sight of this.
The two American journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling, who were imprisoned in North Korea, are now back in the US!
The women were greeted by their families and members of the media capturing the emotional moments of their reunion.
At the press conference this morning, Laura Ling explained that she and Euna were told 30 hours earlier by North Korean officials that they were going to a meeting.
When they arrived at the meeting to find former president Bill Clinton, Laura said she and Lee knew "the nightmare of our lives was finally coming to an end."
Nice job, Bill!
We're so happy to see these brave women back with their families!

Re: Zoesmom –
actually, obama said he would consider dropping bombs on pakistan and iran if they didn't respond to our demands. they are sovereign nations who have not attacked us.
just so you know. wouldn't want you to sound undeducated.
and i'm not a republican fyi, so don't try to spin it.
ps. you sound like a groupie.
Re: Paris France – @85 - Freudian slip? Lol.
I doubt the Govt. had to cough up for this rescue, as they were working for Al Gore's Media company. Note how misogynist Jong Il disregarded Hilary who is in charge of Foreign Affairs and pointedly asked for her hubby, but hey, it all turned out anyway. Hilary and Kim had exchanged words previously, and I guess he didn't like what he didn't want to hear. He let the girls go to Bill, but not to Hilary.
Anything to try to control things his way, even though he let them go.
aw the video was so beautiful it made me tear up..so happy they're home safe………….on another note, how did someone who looks like laura land that HOT model-esque man
before i even read the post, just lookin at the pics made me cry…happy it turned out well
good on them!! FUCK KIM JONG ILL!! i wish i could blow up most idiots in this world and let the good people keep on!!
For all you people who are calling them "dumbass bitches" this is what real journalists do. They risk their lives in order to expose the truth. It's not like they were there to do a piece on North Korean fashion. They were doing stories on more serious matters. The truth should be exposed because that's the only way people in the world would be aware. If people listened to anything Communist governments said the world would be totally ignorant. Look at the way China censors everything. That is the truth according to them but if it were not for journalists risking their lives you wouldn't know anything which I'm sure you don't anyways because you are too busy making ignorant, racist comments.
As an Asian female, I'm very offended because I was born here which makes me a natural citizen same as you. And I probably could tell you more about the US than you know.
Liberal or conservative, saying that Obama isn't doing anything obviously demonstrates lack of understanding as to how diplomacy works, especially since you Bush lovers love bombs and attempting to dominate other nations. Maybe talking and rationalizing will be more effective than violence for once, hmmmm? That is why the US has so many fucking enemies.
Get over your fucking self and quit making racist comments. You couldn't say it to anyone's face if you tried.
By the way, try lasting one day being held in a foreign country and not knowing if you'll live to see the next day in your pathetic life. Whether or not they got special treatment rather than actually being subjected to harsh labor does not deflect from the fact that they were prisoners.
What were they trying to do by illegaly entering a country anyway?
So sweet……
Those two women are so stupid, hello, Korea is a hot spot. If I were them, I'd keep my ching chong ass at home.
Re: knickersalways –
Very intelligent comment, you Dita von Teese wannabe.
They are only concerned at writing a book, good reporters my ass!
When you decide to marry and have children do not be the hero and mosey over to U.S. hating countries.
I know about the human rights issues but that crossing the border crap is just that ,CRAP!
If you want to report and takes dangerous chances do it when you have no family or children. They knew what would happen and thought it would blow over.
I still think that whenever a person makes poor choices they should be held accountable for financing such an operation by placing a lien on any money from a publication books, movies etc.
Like it or not we cannot bully the bullies with our U.S. citizenship, our authority stops at our border, it is just the facts, even our so called allies are stinkers. I am glad they are home but I do not consider them heroines, they need to work on a assignment in the Appalachians on Americas extreme poor
children and their rights of getting help!
all asians should be embarrassed that these two butterheads ran off the plane to the waiting arms of white men.
asian families should be ashamed of themselves for not teaching their daughters to love themselves enough to at least CONSIDER someone in their own race.
lovin' it- you SAID IT. why does EVERY ASIAN WOMAN need to find a white man and leave all the white women with no one left to marry??? now i know how black women feel about their men (hello taye diggs).
Awful. Asians SHOULD feel ashamed. In 15-20 years, 1/2 asians will be the norm around all the young folks. annoying.
Re: miss laurie heart – lol yes ur right we all had money when he was in office….
Asian women are smart that's why they marry white men…not like us dumb Latina women who end up knocked up by Latino men with stolen identities…like George Lopez says when we want to be home owners we marry white men…we need to wise up like the chinas…..um also just a note these women have admitted to illegally entering N. Korea…I'm glad they are back home…but what about the backpackers in Iran…or how about that poor soldier from Idaho that is being held hostage in Afganistan who most likely (god forbid) will be beheaded and put on the internet for everyone to see….again god forbid…and where is the media outrage about this? oh wait he has no celebrity friends….so sad
So happy they are back. Way to go Bill… and for all of you wonderful people out there with negative opinions about this story..
GO FUCK YOURSELF ASSHOLE!!!!
I'm happy for their families, BUT what did we give the psycho leader of N Korea to make this happen?????? These women went into the country illegally. They took the risk, and I'm betting America's paying the price for their arrogance.
you idiots. slick willie did not deal w/ anyone. read the news. the deal was cut before he even went to korea. all he did was escort these two idiots home.
Great news - very moving.
Re: sss – "Besides they all look the same." Koreans all look the same, and Asians all look the same? Guess what, genius? White trash all looks the same, too. Trash of any color, whatever color you happen to be, all looks the same.
Bill still rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm glad they're back with their families. well this is refreshing compare to the depressing news we usually get. and it still is a wonder to a lot of ppl. why only a few pay attention to news
