Keep Bailing

I currently watch overwhelmed as Laura Ling addresses the press following the release of Euna Lee and herself who were arrested while traveling in North Korea, where bail bonds are not available.  The two were convicted of hostile acts against North Korea and sentanced to 12 years of hard labor.

Now, they have been freed after North Korean officials asked for a meeting with former President Bill Clinton. Ling’s account of walking into a room, not knowing what to expect, but seeing President Clinton and knowing that the nightmare of their lives was over.

Clinton was accompanied by former Vice President Al Gore, who owns the news agency the women work for.

Thank God for a safe ending to what could have turned out so much differently.
