US journalists released during Bill Clinton’s visit

The Reuters is reporting that North Korea just pardoned Laura Ling and Euna Lee. I think that’s good, and entirely predictable. All North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il wants is a little attention. I’m glad I wasn’t in the room with him and Bill Clinton, though. Two media whores vying for the attention of a single camera? No thanks.

But I’m glad for the two ladies, regardless of the circumstances of their release. I’m pretty sure they’re going to have some stories to tell when they get home.
