The new faces of Lee Harvey Oswald... brought to you by Al Gore
a few words on the situation in the DPRK:
The two female journalists are Korean American Euna Lee and Taiwanese American Laura Ling of Current TV based in California in the United States. Lee is the editor of the news for Current TV and Ling is one of the agency’s reporters. They were said to have been shooting a video of the border region of China and N. Korea when they were arrested at the Tumen River. Laura Ling is the younger sister of CNN reporter Lisa Ling.

On March 30, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the state news agency of North Korea, reported that preparations were under way for indictments and a trial, saying, “The illegal entry of US reporters into the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and their suspected hostile acts have been confirmed by evidence and their statements.” The two will face trial on June 4.
According to Kim Tae-woo of the Korea Institute for Defense Analysis, “The journalists considerably weakened their government’s leverage against the North,” in ongoing negotiations over the DPRK’s nuclear program.
On June 8, Reuters reported that the two reporters were found guilty of illegal entry and committing “hostile acts against the DPRK” and subsequently sentenced to twelve years of hard labor.
Not rocket science to figure this one out.
These two are clearly acting as provocateurs for Al Gore’s Current TV. (Yes, the same Al Gore who brought us the Global Warming austerity fraud and the PMRC).
The women will not be mistreated because they’re high profile female “political” prisoners. Mistreating them would be a global outrage and the US would milk it for all it’s worth. Their release will be negotiated at some point. Right now the two women are developing some “street cred” as political activists… so their continued careers as journalists are almost certainly guaranteed.
The US, of course, will use this to increase public support for action against North Korea.
take a look at Mitch Koss’s resume. He’s the key to all this.
Koss was the one who “escaped”, for good or ill… probably ill
