North Korea Trial Unacceptable

The twelve year sentencing of Laura Ling and Euna Lee is absolute folly, and Al Gore shows his true pink colors by remaining silent on the issue. In fact, Hilary Clinton has been more aggresive on this issue, and has called the North Korean trial “baseless”.

They were covering a story about human trafficking on the Chinese side of the China-North Korea border when they were forcefully captured by the North Korean border guards. The Korean guards had orders to look for and capture American citizens for use in political bargaining chips, hoping to lessen the severity of the sanctions that will soon be imposed on them in retaliation for their reckless and foolhardy demonstration of their missile and nuclear capabilities (which are laughably minuscule).
