Interview with Laura Ling of Current TV

[superiguana1]

my definition of epic is having a life

[LubricatedBeat]

amateurs got what they deserved, sorry

[whitedog999]

I knew she has curly hair! She looks better in curls. Would love to see her sport them more often.

[dongsoola]

Two mixed marriage Asian female, used as some kind of American symbol.

We, Asians, know we all hate them.

I hope they know it too.

[Mjbabycakes7072]

@dongsoola

So you like when an Asian person marries a non Asian person? Please explain yourself.

[SweetSodaChick]

You're all idiots.

[kittenshateyou]

what's revolutionary about shuffling through videos. The Ling sisters are from the same insipid boring pod....enough already.

Welcome home idiot.

[yojo619]

Euna Lee and Laura Ling were surprised to see Bill Clinton in North Korea.

However they were more surprised to see him wearing nothing but a towel

[GLeNss]

ohh ooooooooooo lol

[TOstevo]

Bill Clinton is the man.

[budsaplenty]

If you watch careful... the eyes are telling the story... the CIA are so cute in the way they pass notes,,,

[anteracmacash]

didn't she alredy have an reportage on north korea ???

[yourmumisadick]

do you have current tv in america? or do you just use the website?

[tittiblaster]

laura is cool. loves anal too. i hope she is ok? heard N koreans are lame

[beatboxer94]

American has to do all they can to get the girls back and the north korean will lost their leader soon like now!!!Hopefully the new guy will not be a wanker!! like the last one

[Anothercoilgun]

Fine asses!

[multo1]

the hen finally caught the fox

[BigBillClinton]

Maybe Laura is the cause of Lisa and Euna's problems

October 19, 2006 at 3:18 pm

[...] Lisa Ling, a reporter for National Geographic, recently under-coverd her way in to North Korea under the false pretenses of being a medical coordinator. She believes she was the *only* American in the country at th

[Mjbabycakes7072]

@BigBillClinton

I think you meant...."maybe Lisa is the cause of Laura and Euna's problems...."

[BFPolarBear]

i hope the US government, which had nothing to do with the work of Laura Ling & Euna Lee, will not make any deal to get them back. The issues between US and DPRK are much larger than two journalists who took a chance and lost.

[Crzeimasha]

Just because those issues make seem bigger to you these people are still americans and this shows that North Korea will continue to do this to americans

[kngston20]

air head snuck into N. Korea and thought she would get away with it, now the US have to make back door deals to get them out. Let them rot.

[garveya1]

Have some compassion... I'll assume you have no idea what happens in those camps.

[kngston20]

do you? Educate us please.

North Korea is the exemplar of real prosperity. Here's to another 50 years under the soon-to-be new Great Leader, Kim Jong-Un!!!!

[TheNORTHKOREA]

VIDEO of NORTH KOREA !!!!

[malgacho]

I pray for their safe return. They were detained because they are Americans, North Korea is using them for political motivations nothing else.

[kittenshateyou]

right and them trying to sneak over the N.K. border has nothing to do with it. Give me a break. How much sympathy am I supposed to have for 2 d rate journalists who foolishly put themselves in harms way like this.

[malgacho]

The same kind of respect you have for war journalist and even for the soldiers who risk their lives to protect so many others. These journalist mission was noble and they took their chances by going there, it is up to them what to do with their lives as it is up to you what to do with yours, if you plan to expend it criticizing what others do, then so be it.

[kittenshateyou]

omg don't for 1 second compare these two dingbat no names to our troops. I'm not even going to read the rest of your pathetic attempt at a post. Try harder next time.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Hey kitty cat...did you know scientific research has shown that people who have cat fetishes have a 75% chance of possessing a smaller brain than a cat?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Hey my little meow...have you ever eaten smoked cat???

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Michael Vick said his next venture will involve cat fighting.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Hey kittens...did you know it only takes 5 minutes on an open fire to completely smoke a cat?

[glenrid]

What is the saying, "Do unto others (cats or, whoever), what you want to have done unto you." You must be real BRAVE to take on that challenge!

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Hey kitty...when did you learn that you are a descendant of Hitler?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Meow mix...were you aware that a recent study in the Journal of Sexuality found that 67% of people with a cat fetish harbored latent homosexual tendencies?

[jwang604]

I have a cat but I can't support an ideology that I don't know anything about. All I know is the system I grew up in. So shut the fuck up about your stupid stats. What the fuck is a cat fetish? Just because you love your cat it suddenly becomes a fetish? I guess everybody has a friend fetish. Except you that is. dumb fuck.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Hey kitty poo poo...the Journal of Political Science recently found that 72% of people who own cats support communist ideology and/or organizations. It's fascinating to think about. I guess cats reveal the real Stalin in all of us.

[kittenshateyou]

wow, you're obssesed with me.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

When I looked into your devilish eyes...I knew it was love.

[kittenshateyou]

egads.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

They were spies, fool. They weren't journalists. Unbelievable.

[BalthzarSS]

I feel for them, but people have to realize that laws change by country, and you can't expect to be treated specially because you're from another country.

You have to accept the consequences of your actions.

[Blackjack555]

They knew what the consequences were. Let them pay for it.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Long live the Great Leader!!

[dannydmaria]

onebrandofdemocrcy since you love North korea so much, why don't you pickup your stupid ass and move to North korea, you fucking communist.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Communism is what keeps democracy honest. It's the ultimate game of checks and balances. Don't believe anything your gov't tells you. It's all bullshit. The CIA and the NSA have hired dozens of Asians to penetrate North Korea. This is what happens when you play around with Kim Jong-Il. I don't feel the least bit sorry for those ladies. When you play with fire, you get burned. Now they're going to be Kim Jong-Il's bitches for 12 years doing hard labor, growing food, and pleasing the men.

[dannydmaria]

acneface01 I hope they rape your mother and sister, you stupid fuck. They're American reporters.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Long live North Korea!!!

[acneface01]

i hope lee and ling swallow, because there going to be getting alot of north korean manjuice to keep them healthy

[rasaxSF]

Ah, yes. The classic case of little-man syndrome: a drama-queen who struts around making juvenile threats & sporting a mullet to prove just how powerful he is. I'm convinced, you big he-man, you. Here's a little secret: the act screams 'tiny penis' & every one knows it, except you. Consider it an intervention.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

I am saluting North Korea for capturing and imprisoning these two "journalists." This is what happens when you commit transgressions against a national gov't. I'm sad they didn't get 50 years. Kim Jong-Il is perhaps one of the most intelligent and visionary leaders in the last 100 years on this planet. This is what happens when you send spies over to gather intelligence on the Great Leader. How arrogant to think we can just broker a release. I hope these "reporters" are in labor camps.

[peppeddu]

How came your "great leader" relies on table scraps from other countries in order to feed it's people?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Never believe anything your gov't tells you. Every country on this planet fires up the propaganda machine. The US is one the best. It's all bullshit to further selfish interests. Nobody's eating table scraps in N. Korea. N. Korea would have collapsed decades ago if half of the bullshit you hear is true. Anyway...don't kid yourself. Those two "journalists" were not covering a story. They were spying and now...they're going to get exactly what they deserve. Don't fuck with N. Korea.

[peppeddu]

Oh sure, they were caught on the border spying the secret advanced North Korean technology.

You know, all those scientists work right on the border with China, and they usually keep their documents over there.

Or perhaps they were trying to document the starvation of it's people and the sex trade going on right on the border?

Please.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Your the type of person who doesn't belong in the defense department. It's the typical naive mentality about how the world is safe and nobody is advanced enough to hurt us or challenge us. The US gov't has all kinds of motivation to infiltrate North Korea with spies. 1. Maybe you haven't heard about the nuclear program? Too much xBox. 2. Long-range ballistic missile technology. 3. Preparations for a preemptive strike on North Korea. Those "journalists" better get used to eating worms.

[peppeddu]

They've got such an advanced technology that they need to hide it from the tourists who visit North Korea.

That's why they proudly show North Koreans studying from 1985's computer guides.

watch?v=FJ6E3cShcVU#t=48m30s (watch at 48m 30s)

North Korea, is a country that relies on food, medicine and oil from other countries in order to survive.

Wake up.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

How much does the state department pay you? What a fool. This is how wars start. Believing in the propaganda generated by the US gov't. North Korea is an exemplar of great political achievement. Its independence from western ways is inspiring to those who understand the farce that is representative democracy. Better coined as a "de facto aristocracy." The people of North Korea have achieved in spite the fear mongering of the west. Those "journalists" are taking it up the ass as we write.

[peppeddu]

Just look at history.

Dictatorship, prohibitionism, and communism have historically failed.

But your point makes me curious.

Are you justifying anyone for raping women while in jail?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

The world is comprised of paradigms. This is why it's difficult for subscribers of democracy and capitalism to understand communism and vice versa. In the western world, women are independent bitches. In Kim Jong-Il's world, women are property. You don't have to like it. You just have to accept it. As the great American radio talk show personality Tom Leykis often says, "women make great sperm depositories...and that's about it." Those "journalists" will spend 12 hard years as sex slaves.

[peppeddu]

Good, now it's on the record.

You know, YouTube keeps your IP address that can be linked to you by your ISP if needed.

Obviously you are not in NK (where there is not Internet BTW) so you better watch out because if something happen in your area they will be looking for you.

Then go tell the police about you "paradigms"

One fact is clear.

Anyone that allows it's children to die from starvation and rape women deserve to be wiped out from the face of the earth.

"great leader", where?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

I've merely told you the way life is. I bet you're married, aren't you? Marriage destroys ambition. So does religion. And so does America's democracy. It's sad to see so many people who believe what their gov'ts tell them without question. That's exactly what all religions teach. Trust without challenging authority. Freedom is the highest goal of intelligent people. You want to talk about rape? Ask the Amish, Catholics, Mormons, Mennonites, etc. Total oppression and mind control.

[peppeddu]

See, here you are free to choose not to follow those groups, and no one punish you if you don't.

In NK you are NOT free not to choose Kim Jong Il.

YOU are free to bitch about democracy, in fact there are people who gave up their life for you have this right. It's called "Free Speech"

In Kim's land they'll take away your life if you dare to speak against him.

No Internet, state TV, state radio and state newspapers only.

That's what I call "Total oppression and mind control."

Don't you think?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

American democracy is an illusion. The candidates are chosen for the people. It's a 2-party system. People don't vote for the issues. They vote for the people.. The people who are in charge are unelected officials. Many aren't even visible and their actions are certainly not transparent. The US gov't systematically continues to test its citizens with biological agents. Most victims are unaware of the atrocities. Also, debt is a scheme developed by the US to oppress the stupid.

[rasaxSF]

"American democracy is an illusion. The candidates are chosen for the people."

I'm inclined to agree with you to a point. Yet, the power structures in place has little to do with average citizens here. And, North Korea certainly cannot claim any ethical high ground using corruption as a charge since they're in no position to throw stones at glass houses.

[peppeddu]

No one ever said it's a perfect system, and by definition, it will never be.

The road for improvement is always open and the countless debates on dozens of issues are the proof.

Even here, you are FREE to say what's on your mind.

Communism have historically failed.

You got your shot for 70 years and failed miserably.

Whatever political system you choose, even the dumbest guy would realize that after doing something for 70 years (and it didn't work) maybe it's time to choose something else.

[rasaxSF]

"This is why it's difficult for subscribers of democracy and capitalism to understand communism and vice versa."

You're absolutely right. It is difficult to understand.

"In the western world, women are independent bitches." We value their independence and they've contributed greatly throughout our history.

"Those 'journalists' will spend 12 hard years as sex slaves."

I hope not because it won't convince anyone. It's an opportunity to learn from each other without violence.

[kittenshateyou]

Die in your sleep.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

You know my little kitten...people who have a cat fetish usually look like the top end of a fresh cow turd.

[peppeddu]

>Those "journalists" are taking it up the ass as we write.

Looks like you didn't have a the slightest clue of what was going on.

Laura and Euna were treated very well, they were held in a guest house in Pyongyang.

watch?v=WC83YtZIZaM (watch at 4 min 50 sec)

Now, let's see if you got the balls to admit you were totally wrong.

[willie17mac]

the journalists was taking it up the ass wow they still love asian pen

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Yeah, actually...I did have a clue. They were be held in a guest house because they were serving as Kim Jong-Il's personal sex slaves. However, the NWO globalist Slick Willy Clinton promised Kim Jong-Il many more pretty white women instead. Since Willy knows how to get chunky white women...he used that in the negotiations and Kim Jong-Il accepted.

[peppeddu]

My apologies,

I thought you were a fairly intelligent person whom we were having an intelligent conversation.

But, now I realize that you are just plain stupid.

An idiot obsessed with sex and unable to make an intelligent thought.

Get help. you need it.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

I'm smart enough to understand tyrannical leaders keep a court of sex slaves. Those are the perks of being a dictator. There are only two classes in this world. Those who rule...and everyone else. When you're Kim Jong-Il, you want a fresh supply of hot Western-influenced women. That's what he got thanks to the rock star of blow-job presidents, Slick Willy. Do you really think leaders of police states really give a shit about right and wrong? C'mon man. Look around. Hell's pervasive.

[peppeddu]

You've discovered hot water.

Any leader (tyrannic or not) has an interest in women.

That's the Sword of Damocles anecdote, or the payback, if you will.

In this case, for Kim Jong, the two women were worth much more than just sex.

That's why they were treated with leniency.

And your comment:

"NWO globalist Slick Willy Clinton promised Kim Jong-Il many more pretty white women instead"

Just shows your addition to sex, your immaturity and lack of understanding.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Those women weren't worth anything to the Dear Leader except a good time. I suppose you think the NWO isn't real either? The only difference amongst Kim Jong-Il, Slick Willy, the Bush's, and Barry Soetoro (Obama's real name) is that old school tyranny is rudimentary. Hitler was one of the first people to use the phrase NWO. All ruling elites subscribe to a form of Nazism. Today's version of the NWO is a more sophisticated "soft" tyranny leading to one-world feudalism. Get your anal lube.

[peppeddu]

And this is another confirmation.

#1 Deny the evidence that are all over the news. "Those women weren't worth anything to the Dear Leader except a good time" (your words)

#2 Trowing a pile of random concepts just blow some smoke.

BTW you forgot the JFK assassination, Area 51, and the Moon conspiracy.

#3 Sex references. "Get your anal lube" (your words)

My comment still stays: "addition to sex, your immaturity and lack of understanding." (my words)

[onebrandofdemocracy]

No. Actually...there's only one concern everyone should have and that's the New World Order. Do yourself a favor and study it. The ultimate objective of the NWO is eugenics. Hitler credited America in Mein Kampf for the developments in eugenics. He thanked America for the Third Reich's program to build a master race. The biggest fight we will all face in the next 20 years is the fight against globalists and their plan for one-world tyranny. You can take that shit to the bank.

[peppeddu]

Sure, New World Order when we cannot even keep our economy together.

You forgot the mysteries of the Great Pyramids, Atlantis, and the Bermuda Triangle

Are you watching over your shoulders because you know the CIA is spying on you?

[rasaxSF]

"This is what happens when you commit transgressions against a national gov't."

What, strutting around and announcing to the world that you have a tiny penis? Impressive.

[peppeddu]

Stop watching porno and play video games.

Get a job.

Your mom and dad won't be around forever to feed you.

You will be amazed how life turn it's back on people in your mental stage when they get in their 30's

Guess who will be eating shit then?

[acneface01]

id fuck her asian cunt, i hope theu get raped in wonderful north korea, fucking slut journalists

[acneface01]

i hope they rape those two cunt reporters,

first inthe mouth and second up the ass

[rasaxSF]

I urge anyone who feels passionately about Lee and Ling's imprisonment to sign the online petition urging for their release, if interested. I found it at the Nation online (see: Act Now! section) linking directly to the site collecting signatures. I believe there is also a Ling/Lee page at Facebook. Peace.

[yiqinuk]

Too bad. They were really brave to cross the boarder into NK. They must thought US government would back them up if anything happen.

[rasaxSF]

Lee and Ling may not have crossed into North Korea as alleged since it has been known to kidnap people just beyond their borders. It's more probable that Lee and Ling were working on a report from the Chinese side when they were taken by force from North Korean border guards.

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Oh they crossed the border alright. They were working on behalf of the US gov't and now they're going to pay the price. The US gov't has more spies on its payroll than Kim Jong-Il has slave girlfriends. Bow to the Great Leader because the next war is with N. K. And if you're unhappy with progress in Iraq and/or Afghanistan...you're going to be immensely disappointed with the outcome on the Korean peninsula. Armageddon is coming for Asia very soon. Buy gold. Dollars will be invalid.

[rasaxSF]

"Oh they crossed the border alright. They were working on behalf of the US gov't and now they're going to pay the price."

Given the history of outrageous claims made by "great leader," reasonable people can doubt them in good conscience without taking a stand in favor of the U.S. with regard to foreign policy. It is not okay to treat other nations' citizens as pawns and the growing number of voices across the globe continue to unify and grow in numbers to demand Lee and Ling's release.

[Saktoth]

Man, what is wrong with the people who comment on this video...

[amareto35]

They played with flyer and they got burned. I mean, how stupid can you be to go to a country thay your leaders called "Axis of Evil" especially when you are a journalist?

[Probewitch]

CIA, yea or nay?

[cypher955]

often CIA uses journalists because it's a perfect cover for them...so it's very possible she was working for them

[Tanru2000]

Is she related to Lisa Ling who used to be a host on The View??

[argaen21]

sisters i thought.

[k8teeeeeeee]

yes it's her sister

[faceoffkang]

12yrs....wow

[ofeydofey]

cya in 12 years

[cypher955]

after 12 yrs, they will likely be different people when they get out especially if they get regular beatings from the guards...we'll see how they feel about the feminist agenda when they get out...hahahahaha...maybe when they get out they will advocate that mothers should stay home with their kids...hmmm, that might be a good idea in hindsight

[MrNiceHk]

Sweet mother of God there are some real Arseholes in this world, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself

[ElevenColors]

I am curious. Did they cross the border themselves or were they kidnapped and taken across? References anyone?

[bananaman22]

i really dislike this. but i cant help but feel that americans need to be taught a lesson to stop meddling with other countries affairs and trying to rule the world.

[joshjolin94]

ipod shuffle? WTF

[TheDJLexx]

Yea but how long will those negotiations take before they even make any ground really? I've never been to North Korea so I can't say what it is really like, I only know what I've been told or shown, and from what I've seen and heard I don't think I'd want to even be close to that country from fear of what could happen.

[apocalyptichybrid2]

As for these few dummies saying we should go to war and invade North Korea, think about the hundreds of thousands of South Korean and American troops that would die in the first 24 hours, and ask yourself this question again.

War is not the answer to everything

[Spintown7]

No one is saying war is the answer to everything, but N. Korea has had pressure put on it in various ways. Broken various agreements, and they just spit in the eye of everyone. They are becoming too dangerous to wait much longer. The longer you wait, the more people will probably die.

[florcita72]

war is never an answer no matter what the problem is.

[FluffyMcNutter1]

Maybe Al Gore can put on his Green Peace cape and fly over to North Korea and save them? Oh wait he's to busy pushing the liberal green GE MSNBC propaganda down our throats to save two of his journalists! This is so EPIC FAIL by Al Gore!

[rasaxSF]

This isn't an appropriate venue to grind your political axes for Gore, and it fails to appreciate the risk and effort involved for keeping people informed about current events from around the globe.

[FluffyMcNutter1]

I watched his "Current" channel once. It was shit!!! It was like MSNBC on steroids.

[rasaxSF]

You could always try using the remote next time.

[apocalyptichybrid2]

Both of these journalists will eventually be released through negotiations with the US, won't last more than a few months. All North Korea wants is attention, this is what all their missile testing the last few years has been about. They know they will soon be toppled militarily or diplomatically, they will eventually be just another trade partner. It is shameful what this government has done to it's own people, but we shouldn't be over there in the first place. Who made us world police?

[duba3988]

We have the UN for that but. lol

[apocalyptichybrid2]

lol The United Nations? That's a joke right? They're a more worthless entity than our Dept. Of Education.

[pinkbandgeek]

I hope she gets out. Good luck to her.

[PA16803]

Gee if they had not worked for Al Gore we would not need to be bothered by this whole thing.

[crazybeatlesfan33]

thats so sad

[hunterswine]

This situation is so sad and very very wrong. I really hope this can be worked out some how.

[arismucaO]

I pretty much only watch infoMania on Current TV, so I have not heard of her before.

[TheeCoolOne]

she's on the show vanguard. she's always on the commercials too.

[VitronEspada]

I swear to god, we need to go in NOW and unseat that crazy litte mutant shrimp who runs NK.  I forget how to spell his name, but he's ronrery, so rornrery. Anyway, forget Iraq, cause they don't have nukes. Iran doesn't yet, so let's skip them, and just wipe North Korea off that damn map by now. Anyone wanting amenesty should be offered so, but if they're brainwashed, then they get a bullet in the head, like their little dictator/emperor fellow.

[ArjeeBhajee]

Did Laura Ling do a NatGeo doco on North Korea back in the day? Like where she follows in a eye surgeon to NK and films the country semi-covertly?

[CaoPi1992]

Nope, that was another reporter.

[ArjeeBhajee]

cheers

[episkapimp1]

Actually Lisa Ling did in fact did a documentary pertaining to North Korea about a year ago. In a way it was a covert project but she did have North Korea aware of her actions ans she was not harmed at all. I believe that NK are using these two reporters and their crew as a outlet to exhort their power to the world.

[j0hnwi11iams]

Now that the little fuckwad dictator has flexed his muscles, time to crush the little bastard.

[hudsonmusik]

Ugh, that fascist government kidnapping people (they weren't in N. Korea when they were "caught") and putting them in prison and in the same month creating nukes. N. Korea is more of a problem for the world than Iraq wasn't for America.

[CrdBrdProjects]

lol thats because the us is a bunch of dipshits and doesn't know how to prioritize.

[hudsonmusik]

More like Americans think oil is heaven.

[Gwainafair]

Wtf

[foodaggression]

zadi diaz used to do rocketboom?

man, i should have watched this earlier... this makes me miss joanne even more.

[azulo65]

She really resembles her sister. I hope those two reporters stop being used as diplomatic pawns by NK.

[truevoiceofsanity]

Sad.

Hope she gets freed.

[bloodbath145]

I really did hope that she wouldn't be sentenced Kim Jong IL is truly a asshole in deed

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

Laura Ling is beautiful

[wwickeddogg]

That's why the North Koreans love Kim Jong IL, cause he's an asshole

[Shizofizzinated]

She seems really passionate about what she does. It's just terrible what North Korea has done to her and Euna Lee.
