#3 Dear Democratic People's Republic of Korea:

We find that absolutely unacceptable.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

#4 I'm afraid your letter wasn't sternly worded enough, Sea...

#7 Yeah, lots of internet access in North Korea.
Why don't she just try to beam them out?

#8 Not only is the POTUS a completely clueless empty suit; his Sec. of State is a completely clueless empty dress. What a bunch of maroons.

#9 SoS Hillary is clueless, but not as much as you think. She probably does not give the proverbial rat's behind about the two clueless journalists in the NORK calaboose.

But she knows her base, and now she gives them busywork to do. They feel important, she feels important, and the Norks marvel at the cluelessness of these Americans, and go about their business. The two women will get their trial, the Norks get their publicity and their time in the sun. Everybody wins.

#10 Y'know, I remember doing the same kind of thing in college when I was a member (briefly) of Amnesty International.

Note to the sistahs in Barnard....you might want to kick it old school and put pen to paper. I don't think the Norks have Gmail accounts, and I'm not sure that Lil' Kimmie will take it easier on them if you "friend" him on Facebook.

#11 I agree with Alaska Paul. The is nothing she can do so she enlists the students and when that doesn't work she can say, "We tried". Or if for some reason the "journalists" are released she can then claim credit.
