#1 I'd put it on reporters being stupid. They were liberals, and undoubtedly thought they were surrounded by a golden halo of "I'm an American". They're probably cursing the US government now for doing nothing to help, ha ha.

#3 an online media company run by Al Gore

Well I guess that is one way to lower your carbon footprint... Gulag residents are not known for their carbon footprint.

#4 This probably made it a lot easier for them to observe Earth Hour...

#5 Some reports I've read are that they were on Chinese territory when the NorKs grabbed them.

At any rate, Kimmie's got his human shields to ensure America won't do jack shit when he fires his whatever next week.

A person more cynical than myself might entertain the possibility that these two journos were dispatched specifically to get caught and for that precise purpose, but I am probably not quite that cynical.

A person that would be about as skeptical as myself, however, would certainly question the timing.

#6 I'm jealous. I've been wanting to try these treasonous bastards for years and now the Norks have the first go at it.

Lucky.

#7 Send in an extraction team- model it after the Unit episode where Jonas and the boyz swoop in by submarine to extract...drumroll, this time.......the ladeez.

That could make for some really journalishy journalism.

Bottom line though, is that Norks shouldnt be phunking with Americans, no matter what their politics. God, I hate North Korea.
