(translation)

The fate of two American journalists convicted in North Korea for the hostile acts and sentenced to penal servitude long, seems to be the main theme of the meetings of former U.S. President Bill Clinton with the DPRK. His arrival in Pyongyang today has become a complete surprise to all.

Visiting Bill Clinton drew particular attention to the whole world for several reasons. First, because it was a surprise for everyone, because there was no prior announcement, or at least hints. Reports that U.S. ex-president flies to North Korea, appeared on the tapes of news agencies closer to 5 o'clock in the morning - at about the same time, when his plane had no markings landing.

Secondly, these visits - a great rarity. The last visit to Pyongyang, the American guest of such a high level was already 9 years ago. Then at a meeting with Kim Jong Il arrives, Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State of Administration of the visitor, while the head of the United States.

it is responsible and some of the wishes of North Koreans. As is known, the DPRK, persistently did not wish to return to the Six-Party Talks on the nuclear issue by insisting that bilateral dialogue with Barack Obama.

During the first 6 months of this year, Pyongyang has managed to acquire more powerful argument for the most violent foreign trade. A second nuclear test, a series of missile launches and, finally, two American journalist Yong Lee and Laura Lin, captured in March and convicted of illegally crossing the border in June and sentenced to 12 years penal servitude. Directly on the day of conviction, the State Secretary, Hillary Clinton announced that America will not leave its citizens in distress.

Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State: «We urge the DPRK authorities to immediately release the two women and allow them to return home! We intend to achieve their liberation by all means. Appoint the Special Representative, who will be entrusted with the humanitarian mission ».

Now in Pyongyang, arrived her husband. According to some sources, namely the fate of two journalists will be the main topic of talks with the leadership of North Korea. Since early June the soil so that they become successful, cooked just the world.

  • Clinton : SURPRISE !!!

    Kim : F**k, hide the nukes...

  • If it had been Russian journalists that had been captured the rescue effort would have leveled atleast three townships and left thousands dead.

    Not that Russia cares more about it's citizens, it's just that they are very bad at rescuing people.
