Fool Fowle released by NK & returned to USA by USAF
|
Jeffrey Fowle, one of three Americans being held in North Korea, was abruptly allowed to leave today on a U.S. government jet.
Fowle, 56, of Miamisburg, Ohio, had been awaiting trial on charges of leaving a Bible at a nightclub in the northern port city of Chongjin last May. Proseletyzing [sic] is illegal in North Korea...
The site of a USAF plane with an American flag on its tail at Pyongyang's international airport was an unusual sight.
While in a North Korean jail he was fired from his job as an equipment operator for the city of Moraine, Ohio, a job he had for the last 26 years. The dismissal last month came with a $70,000 severance package.
At some point, you have to return to work,” Moraine City Manager David Hicks told ABC News.
Hicks noted that Fowle was a union employee. “Although he was terminated, he has the ability to apply at any point in the next year and he would be immediately reinstated into his position,” he said.
The city's termination letter to Fowle said that he was being dismissed "in light of your continued incarceration in North Korea resulting from (a) unilateral decision to travel to North Korea against the advice of your family and acquaintances; and (b) running afoul of North Korean restrictions on ‘anti-government’ activities."
Hicks said that the city kept his wife and children on Fowle’s health insurance after his termination.
An utter maroon or really poor intel op gone bad. What other choices are there? At least his family and acquaintances seemed to have a lick of sense, unlike the "victim". After having a huge amount of US funds spent to return him home, he can most likely look forward to a nice city taxpayer-funded pension.
This morning the Dayton Daily News reported Fowle has arrived at Wright Patterson AFB and met with his wife and children. Fowle's wife Tatiana is a native of Russia.
