North Korean Detainees' Struggle!!!
We smell a Barbara Walters special!!!
Since the return of American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who were just released from captivity in North Korea, they have been slowly adjusting to life back home.
Lisa Ling, sister of Laura, divulges on their struggles and detained life abroad. According to Lisa, Laura "did say that they touched North Korean territory very, very briefly. She said that it was maybe 30 seconds, and everything just got sort of chaotic. It’s a very powerful story and she does want to share it.”
30 seconds?! Seriously?!
In their two months of isolated confinement, the reporters were fed three small meals a day consisting of mostly of rice with rocks mixed in, small vegetables, and fragments of fried fish which Ling "developed a reaction to."
The cell was extremely small, forcing Ling to often would walk in circles for exercise, read books, and bathe on occasion.
Says Lisa, “Bathing was a little bit difficult because they didn’t have hot water. So she would fill up buckets and she would say, ‘O.K., on Saturday I’m going to wash my hair.’”
Adding, “I think she won a lot of her captors over. She had some really lovely things to say about the people who were watching her. She had two guards in her room at all times. And even though they couldn’t speak together, they developed a sort of strange kinship.”
Since arriving home, Laura has developed a fear of being alone. She attempted to take a brief nap on Wednesday and pleaded for her sister to be there when she woke up.
Things are equally as difficult for colleague, Euna Lee. Lisa says, “I hear that Euna’s 4-year old daughter does not want her to leave her sight. She keeps following her from room to room.”
So sad.

McSteamy Hits The Beach!!!
Baby Spices Up Ginger's Bday
Then why the hell would they take that risk and subject themselves to their poor decisions…I don't feel sorry for them at all!
Serve those chinks right. I hope they suffer the rest of their lives.
Dumbasses!!!
amazing story… euna's daughter must be so frightened to lose her mother once more.. i saw it on CNN when the two arrived on the airport… it was such a touching scene..
this is soo sad .it makes me want to cry
How awful…what a horrid ordeal for these two women to endure. Thank God that they were returned home in one piece…hopefully they will be able to heal from the mental scars in time… so sad.
So sad indeed. Here's wishing them both a speedy recovery from their ordeal. Luckily they have friends and family nearby to help them cope.
What they expect the Four Seasons Hotel.This country is bleak at best.Anything for a story,trying up her sister by getting the big story in North Diarrhea before her.Total idiots
What is really disturbing about all of this is the "rocks."
Re: WKNDBIKERIDER – How is it their fault for being unfamiliar with certain customs and laws? They made a mistake, they apologized.. I hardly think that was a suitable punishment for an unintentional mistake.. Much too harsh..
They should still be there. They broke another Countries law and should have to do the time.
I just can't imagine how awful it would be to deal with all of that for 140 days.
Re: SleepingPill_Addict – Is that really necessary? Like come on buddy.. Keep the racism to yourself.. No one appreciates it.. Well no one that matters anyways..
bill clinton to the rescue!
HOW CAN PPL SAY GOOD FOR THEM?! DO YOU THINK THEY DESERVED TO EAT FUCKING ROCKS AND LIVE IN SHIT CONDITIONS WITH ONCE A WEEK BATHING RITUALS? NO. THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND DIDN'T DESERVE THAT. GOOD LUCK TO THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES..
Don't fuck with North Korea again idiots.
you wouldnt go to another man's land next time bitches..
lol..you want us to feel sorry for you?
get outta here..
what crybabies
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – EVERYONE who KNOWS and understands politics that you CAN NOT cross n. korean territory. why do you think we are having issues with them? again ignorant americans who know nothing about politics or the world. that was their job as reporters; they knew the territory. they knew that they were doing. they knew the territory. they wanted to see how far they could push it and got what was coming to them. i have sympathy for them.
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – hey sexy
I don't believe a Korean didn't like fried fish.
Also, "won her captors over" == bj
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Any educated person (and these are educated women) knows that North Korea is hostile toward the US, and therefore unlikely to dole out punishments that we would consider "fair".
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Give me a break…they knew exactly what they were doing, they just didn't fall off the truck!
They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and this is what they get for such poor judgment on their end.
No story is worth the risk they took!!!
Re: SweetLimes[sweaterpuppets] – only comment i have to make to a person names sweet limes is.. I'm not American.. I don't care for politics, I was commenting based on their punishment.. TOO HARSH.. Poor women.. Point proven..
oh boo hoo hoo hoo, remember Terry Anderson? He wasn't doing anything but heading to a tennis match, and he spent more than 7 years in hideous conditions.
I hope these women do no interviews. What shmaltz. sad? oh please. how many people in the world NEVER wash their fricking hair???? four months? service people spend 2-4 years away from family.
Re: Sara79 – True true.. But all in all.. It happened, now, do you think their punishment was fair? Do you think they deserved that?
Re: JigSaw – Hey Jigz!! Sup homeboy? :p
Re: iluvselenagomezsomuch – How long would you last with only one shower a week, small meals a day, rocks in ur food, and a small cell where you couldn't even really walk around in? You live in ur perfect lil world, you have no clue what it's like to have to survive in harsh conditions.. They didn't deserve this punishment. Period.
Too bad they weren't shot so we all don't have to listen to their sob stories.
Re: SleepingPill_Addict – WOW…Harsh words, your mother should have had an abortion.
Im very happy they are home after that terrible ordeal
Re: brainchild – Thats a terrible thing to say. What if it was a member of your family? would you still want them shot? Whats wrong with you people! They shouldn't have crossed the border but they didnt deserve that degree of punishment!
Re: SleepingPill_Addict – wow you sound as low as anniegirl, and that is low.
burning a cross at the meeting tonight? dont forget your white dunce cap
Re: brainchild – Get real… You prolly live in upper middle class home… Full commodities…. Perfect lil life.. You need to get help buddy.. Then again, Shrinks really can't cure, being a SPOILED LIL BITCH.. Peace bitch..
Re: berrybaby – lol
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Completely and totally agree
They ate rocks? We feed our prisoners better than that.. but were not them.. at least there was nothing mentioned about them being tortured or anything. So it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Anyway, I bet they learned their lesson.
Re: JigSaw – Awe.. You got my back!! Thanks love!! You tell that nasty ole Anniegirl wanna be!!
Re: berrybaby – hey thanks for the support.. Hope ur a regular on here.. You'd have alot of fun debating with all of us regulars.. Write me sometime on here if you're bored.. We'll entertain ya!!
Re: WKNDBIKERIDER – Exactly. Why the hell would you even let yourself get that close to the border. Bubba should have gone over, he loser( yes he lost ) former Vepee Gore owns the company those idiots work for.
these people will never learn. you must be seriously messed in the head to even near a boarder that is hostile.
Re: berrybaby – Eat shit and die. Because of those two idiots mistake it cost the USA tax payers alot!!
Some of the people in the comments section are monsters.
It was 30 seconds. Do you not understand that?
And what country imprisons you and makes you eat rice with rocks mixed in for 2 months for merely stepping foot on their land?
so basically these two bitches were doing some ilegal shit got busted, arrested and now they are going to make millions from their press junket, great. these asians just come to this country to silently rape it but whitey is not threatened by them because they look weak but they always want to breathe down hispanics and blacks necks.
Re: JigSaw – Rofl!!!!!! Dunce cap! LMAO
boo hoo fucken hoo… who gives a fucking shit about this two chinese bitches. Chinese people eat rice, so why are they crying about the rice eating shit. Second its prison you whores, what the fuck do they spec? No hot water??? Oh boy this women are idiots. They are slowly getting use to being home. How long they were away for 3 or 4 months. Come on that is hardly any time served.
Re: SleepingPill_Addict – Thats the best you got huh? Eat shit and die? Well I can tell you I won't be eating any shit…however I will eventually die. Like I said you should have been aborted…. you were a mistake huh? Did mommy drop you on your head? Is that why your full of so much hate? I betcha you need a hug…go get a hug!
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Yeah Im always here debating with really "intelligent" people. LMAO
and poor things they are so ugly
They knew crossing the border was illegal. They got arrested and sentence to prison. What were they expecting? The Hilton Hotel? Come on its prison. Anybody could handle 1 shower per week and 3 small meals per day. Its call every fucken prison in American, small cell, 1 hot meal 2 cold meals and danger of getting rape or murder. Welcome to the real world dumb bitches.
My thing is how did the North Korean know they were American's? They all look the same.
Re: berrybaby – LOL I know right?
Re: YUCK – WOW full of hate…get over yourself. How can you be so negative?
Re: sss – Eating food with rocks in it? I'm sorry, do all prisons in America serve that up? And ppl in prison in America deserve to be there cuz they committed terrible crimes.. Murder, child molestation, rape, etc… These girls crossed an invisible border for a mere 30 seconds and received this as punishment.. You've got ppl in America commiting murder and getting out 3-4 years later, maybe we should focus on ur shitty legal system, not crossing an imaginary border for all of 30 seconds.. Get real ppl..
Re: sss – Lets see you go there then…and not hear any bitching
Who really gives a shit about these Chinese bitches?
Re: berrybaby – They deserved the punishment according to North Korean law. They were lucky they were not killed or at least starved a lot more. They knew they were crossing that border. How could they not. They were journalists, they knew what they were doing to get "a big story". When you are in ANOTHER'S country you MUST obey their laws or be subject to the punish THEY SEE fit. Us Americans are very accustomed to our liberties freedoms and many tend to feel their liberties will be protected anywhere they go. They are lucky they got out of there.
Re: Genghis Khan – I agree that they broke the law and agree they should have followed the laws of that country. But I feel personally that the punishment was harsh for the crime. Yes they were lucky to get out alive. And I am extremely happy for them that they got out of there. I'm not an idiot. I know whats going on. Its the people who think they deserved harsh punishment because they are "stupid bitches" or "Insert racist remark here" who keep me here commenting.
Re: Genghis Khan – ameria is quick to punish non americans for their crimes can we say waterboarding but anyway, when it comes to their "americans" over seas getting punished they want to grab their little babies and protect them.
if this country can dish it, they have to take it too. no wonder they hate americans in almost every other country. even asians look down on americans they just come here to rape this country doing welfare fraud and not paying taxes.
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Hey Beauty! You know when people come to American by unlawful means we do NOT feed them ROCK WITH RICE! THey will get 3 meals a day! And be treated a hell of a lot better. I'm saying this because these girls were Americans with children and husbands. Damn some people can be so fucking mean! I think me and a few others were hoping they make it out alive period. I'm was so shocked when Bill Clinton brought them home. Yeah, now that's a story! Welcome back dear~
sorry, but I don't feel any sympathy for either woman. They knew what they were doing. They knew it violated North Korea's laws. They knew the risks. They got caught. They also got lucky.
It was hubris, pure and simple. Waiting for the inspirational Lifetime Movie to be announced in 3…2…
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – you actually don't believe they cross the border for 30 seconds, you can't be that dumb. They are educated women, they knew crossing the border was illegal and knew the consequences. The did the crime and did not want to face the time. They deserved what they got. They broke N. Korea law. Now they are home and still bitching. Come on, its all about interviews and cash now. They are playing the system to sell interviews and I bet we might see a book or two.
Re: berrybaby – Why would I go there? I know if I cross the border I will get prison or worst die. They got caught and release, enough already. I don't want to hear them complain about prison. It was prison for goodness sake. No hot water, 3 meals per day, small cell. Oh boy, what a bunch of twats.
I have no sympathy for these ugly Chinese bitches.
Actually, I'll endure 4 months of prison for a couple million dollars here and there. You know there is a book, a life time movie and interviews coming up. I could hear them laughing all the way to the bank. Dumb bitches. I don't know why the U.S. of A. got involved. Them bitches look N. Korean to me. They were right at home, squatting and eating rice, and to top it off they are fucken ugly.
Re: Paris France – Beautifully said Paris!! Thanks!!
Re: jesyrene – Bet you $20 you're uglier than them and the shit that comes out of my ass put together.. Pfft.. Racist loser.. Get real bitch..
Re: sss – What the fuck ever.. Dude, get real.. Yea they broke the fucking law, but did they deserve that?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That's my mother fucking question!! NO is the fucking answer end of story!! My point has been proven, now peace the fuck out bitches!! ……
Re: sss – Let me know how it went when you get back!
IF THESE 2 DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO PRISON…WHY STEP ON NORTH KOREAN SOIL!!!!!!!!
OH YEA WHY NOT POST THE HEADLINE FOR THE NY TIMES STORY???
-
"JOURNALISTS ENTERED NORTH KOREA"
-
THESE 2 STILL NEED TO BE IN A NORTH KOREAN JAIL!!!!!!
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – I dont think it gets uglier than these two broads, they are pretty triffling.
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – too bad they survive. I hope they gave Mr Clinton a BJ before the plane landed. I wonder if Clinton took his cuban cigars with him.
Re: berrybaby – Tell me why the did not deserve 4 months of prison? They broke the law. They got 4 months of prison time. Its prison. What did they want? warm water, A/C, plamas TV with Showtime and HBO, silk sheets, etc.. Its prison and they serve 4 months for breaking the law. They cross the border they serve time end of story. They were not rape or torture. No water bording, electric shocks, dogs barking, undies over head etc. I think the rice eating china bitches got off easy.
Reading these comments have made me sick to my stomach. I have never been so ashamed to be an American. Whatever the hell their motives may be for crossing the border into North Korea, they did not deserve the punishment the receive. And despite the fact that they're back in America, it's like they're still being punish, except this time its by their fellow American citizens. The things said here were completely uncalled for. Citizens of other nations have more respect for these women and its just sad that we would treat our own citizens like this, especially after a terrible ordeal. And so what if they do interviews, or write a book? First of all, you don't have to watch it. Second, considering the fact that they actually have a story to tell, it's bound to be better than the shit that half of these celebrities spew out to get attention.
Re: sss – Wow your an idiot
they broke the law and serve 4 months. Big fucken deal. Its not like they just got release after serving all 12 years. And free or in prison, innocent or guilty those bitches are fucken ugly. Asian or what ever, they are nasty looking. I seen some nice Asian babes, but this two are not one of them.
Re: othrocksmysocks – " I have never been so ashamed to be an American." you must be related to that ugly thing of first lady. They served 4 months, yeah they were sentence to 12 years of hard labor. THEY DID NOT do any hard labor. They served 4 months, FOUR FUCKEN MONTHS for breaking the law and crossing into N. Korea. End of story. 4 months for breaking law, not too bad if you ask me. Now they might make millions of dollars for interviews, books movies etc..
Re: SleepingPill_Addict –
Oh yeah, it's them that we should reprimand for wasting our tax dollars to fly back to the States, and not the CEOs that reward themselves with hefty bonuses with money from the bailout or AIG, who threw parties that cost $440,000, and used our tax dollars to pay for them… Seriously dude? There's this thing called logic. Use it.
Re: sss – What does them being ugly have to do with anything?! Your probably not any better than anyone else who looks like a hog. Four months for crossing the border is totally uncalled for..and they were sentanced to what like seven years I believe. Your a leech to the American society.
Re: YUCK – LOL I DISAGREE BUT THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY.. LOL LAUGHING AND OBJECTING AT THE SAME TIME!! CAN A PERSON DO THAT? LOL
Re: othrocksmysocks – Totally agree!
if they were only in north korea for 30 seconds, then how did they get captured and put in jail? that sounds a bit bullshit to me.
and poor things got fed 3 meals a day of rice and fish? boo fucking hoo. welcome to the rest of the world.
i'm sure they are going to milk this shit for everything it's worth.
nice that lisa ling is already pimping it out.
Re: othrocksmysocks – 100% AGREE WITH YOU BUDDY!! YOU'RE RIGHT ON.. I'M CANADIAN AND I CARE MORE THAN MOST OF THE AMERICANS ON HERE DO.. PATHETIC!!
Re: Me Myself and I – THEY WERE FED ROCKS IN THEIR FOOD, HAD A SHOWER ONCE A WEEK (IF THEY WERE LUCKY).. WE HAVE PRISONERS IN AMERICA WHO COMMIT CRIMES LIKE MURDER AND RAPE WITH BETTER CONDITIONS THAN THAT.. GO BACK TO YOUR PERFECT LIL WORLD BITCH.. YOU'RE A SPOILED ROTTEN BRAT.. HAVE SOME RESPECT.. I'M NOT EVEN AMERICAN AND I CARE MORE ABOUT YOU'RE CITIZENS THAN YOU DO..
OMG NO HOT WATER??????!!!!!
THE HORROR.
a huge part of the world lives in much worse conditions.
why do we care about these fools more than other people who have real problems?
right now these bitches are probably back in their posh homes eating fois gras and sucking bill clinton's dick.
Re: sss – DID THEY COMMIT RAPE? MURDER? DRUG DEALING CHARGES? NO YOU SAY? HMM.. THEN MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FINED OR EXILED NOT FUCKING PUT IN PRISON IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY TO HAVE TO EAT ROCKS MIXED IN THEIR FOOD AND NOT BE ABLE TO BATHE PROPERLY, AMONG OTHER THINGS..
I see the haters are out if full force with all of their self righteous bullshit.
.
They are all puss brains with black hearts and DO NOT REPRESENT AMERICA!
.
Unfortunately, they do represent the 28% of ignorant fucks that are bitter and void of empathy. The only hope is that they just keep inbreeding themselves to extinction.
They deserved it. They knew our relations with that country was not good yet they still wanted to venture there. So they deserved to be locked up. hahaha
Re: sss –
Your obsession with looks is very telling. It's obvious that you are quite hideous and are very insecure about it, so you try to make others feel like they're uglier than you to make you feel better. It's very juvenile. It was an effective method during childhood, but not so much in adulthood. So your constant insult of people's looks really does nothing and gets you no where.
And regardless of how many months they spent in jail, citizens of other nations have more respect for these women than our own fellow citizens. All that hate and racism. Its disgusting. Of course it makes me feel ashamed to be an American.
Re: Me Myself and I – I bet you take a nice hot shower every day ( I would hope cause if you didnt big EW) How would you feel having to go without? Whether they were in more than 30 seconds or not its just horrible…and Im sure North Korea has something called border patrol
Re: Me Myself and I –
It's called a meiosis genius. And in case you don't know what that means, I'll define it for you. A meiosis is an intentional understatement.
Re: SWEETPIECE! – LMAO AMEN!!!
PUNISHMENT WAS NOT SUITED FOR THEIR CRIME.. THEY ARE NOT REAL CRIMINALS.. MURDERERS AND RAPISTS ARE.. THANK GOD THEY ARE OK.. GOD BLESS THEM.. I'M OUT.. PEACE OUT EVERYONE.. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, AND GO TO HELL ALL YOU HATERS..
Re: SWEETPIECE! – Hey Sweetz!! Damn, I'm leaving work now!! Talk to you monday hopefully love!! XOXO
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 –
look bitch, you have commented a million times in this post and it's time for someone to shut you down.
You are clearly easily manipulated by the press and have a hard time thinking for yourself.
The bottom line here is that these women received preferential treatment for breaking foreign laws. They were working for Al Gore's TV station and related to Lisa Ling, so it was all over the news. Many people get put in international prisons on a daily basis and serve years, if not life, for small crimes, but we never hear about them.
There were there for only two months. They got fed 3 meals a day, had books to read, and were treated very well by their captors. They are very lucky women, and there is no reason to feel sorry for them.
And as for the 'rocks in their rice'… rice often has rocks in it. Thats why it needs to be cleaned and washed. They probably got a few in their bowls and freaked out. Its a common thing…not like the koreans purposely put them in there.
If you want to find a cause, why not defend the people being bombed in afghanistan right now, or children in africa who are dying of malnutrition, or people wrongly accused on death row in the US? There are many other legitimate stories of suffering that could use your tears.
Wahhhhh! We're having a hard time adjusting to freedom, wahhh! They were retarded to begin with to even try and do their stupid fucking story in a country who has a madman running things. They got what they deserved and are lucky ole Billy Boy bailed their asses out. Who wants to bet that Clinton had his way with them on that loooong flight home. I bet he even got them to give up the anal.
Re: YUCK – YOU'RE AN IDIOT
GO KILL YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU SURE ARE DUMB AND UGLY
I'M HALF ASIAN AND FUCKING PROUD OF IT BITCH
Why didn't she want her husband there when she woke up?!
Could you please get your "LAURA"s and "LISA"s straight? It's a bit confusing to read
Do you think one or both have Bill Clinton sponk on their clothes ??
