U.S. reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea after being captured while covering the misery of defectors along the China-North Korea border.They were sentenced for the “grave crime they committed against the Korean nation and their illegal border crossing.” The grave crime included reporting on the conditions of the last Stalinistic regime in the World with its rampant starvation and abuses.
At a similar point in the Iranian arrest of journalist/spy Roxana Saberi freedom was negotiated within days. How long will these two actual reporters remain imprisoned?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
