Detained US Journalists - North Korea


Updated photos of American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling.

I think these two American journalists are being treated well, and probably be allowed to document about the plan to test-fire the long-range rocket. Just to point out to the world that there should be nothing to worry about. Japan, US, and South Korea are pushing UN sanction but such move are being blocked by China and Russia.

I have seen some footage though on how some North Koreans treats their prisoners. And they are ruthless. From young men and women, and to the older folks, they all get the brutal beat-downs. But for these two American journalists, could be far from the typical North Korean imprisonment. Unless North Koreans are making a foolish move, an invitation of another useless conflict at a time of global economic crises. I don't know much about communism but this might be the right seasons for them to gain more power.

The journalists were identified by people familiar with their plans as Laura Ling and Euna Lee of San Francisco-based Current TV LLC. The two women and two men had been interviewing North Korean refugees in the border towns.

The group was believed to be filming in or near the shallow river that separates the two countries when soldiers that guard the North Korean border took them. However, details were uncertain.

That's North Korea right there on the top. The Japanese are paranoid about the idea of a missile test-fire, and so the Japanese are launching a rocket of their own to shoot down the North Korean's missile, just before it reaches it's goal. Maaan that's next week.
