"Now Bill Clinton may be about to find out. On the more immediate issue, he will reportedly be bringing home the two American women, Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36, whom North Korean soldiers arrested on March 17 near the Chinese border. It's likely that this gesture was promised as a precondition for Clinton making the trip."

I don't have any profound additions to this article, or enough knowledge to offer any rebuttals... But, the quote above, partnered with my tired and hasty reading had my head spinning for a moment. My silly little mind thought: "So, the US SET-UP two journalists to be arrested, as a gesture to little jonquil Jong-il, only to create a pretext for an 'unofficial' official visit seeking their release?"

- As if the actual gesture was sending and allowing NK to arrest two Americans - not release them.

Stupid late-night GI JOE trailers...
