North Korea 'to try US reporters'

Shocking. Thanks for this.

Two dead reporters coming right up

Well it may be another behind enemy lines , It is shocked and may the world media should be more into save this 02 fellows as there life is on risk. Lifetime may not the option because it is better to die than getting toutured.

Then again, let's apply critical thinking here! Operatives for the CIA always have a "cover" don't they? Isn't the cover of a reporter just perfect? The CIA endangers true reporters' validity as unbiased spectators with this abuse, if so. I find it hard to imagine any press service would send two female reporters into such an area alone and unescorted. And isn't the law there on EITHER side of the border that prior approval is required? If they don't like the law they should write about it, not break it. The "poor, hapless little darlings" story seems sugary and bogus to this ex-PR flack. What were they hoping for? That extra-special eye-witness testimony? Plenty of refugees from N. Korea in China to interview...

To pile on... Which wing of maximum security do you think 2 North Korean reporters would spend the next 20 years if they were caught trudging over the USA/Canadian border without visa permits? And were is the howling outrage from the USA? More like embarrassed silence to me. Also coincidental that they work for an organisation belonging to Al Gore (if I've read right...) Isn't he a prominent ex-government employee? Not exactly The Philadelphia Enquirer, is it? And the timing? Just when N.Korea is about to launch a ballistic missile? Bit co-incidental innit? "But that's why the reporters go there", I hear some might cry. What is cutting across the border going to achieve in news about a rocket launch? The local population is famously ignorant of N. Korea's elite's intentions. No journalistic value at all as far as I can see. So why? I don't know - ask the CIA what they were doing. Plausible Deniability is their mantra of course...
