*crickets*

I was just momentarily stunned that two Americans abducted by a secretive communist dictatorship for who knows how long would be considered a win.

When you go poking around a border between two communist countries I guess you're just asking for trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if they were put on trial for helping refugees escape. They may be in there for a long time.

"Trial"
Gee, I wonder what the verdict would be?

You know North Korea has got to get something out of this to give them back - fuel, food, hard currency - something. I doubt they'll be let go without getting something BIG in return. Especially two American females.

Ha! I knew it ......

Report: North Korea planning to put American reporters on trial
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two American journalists detained in North Korea entered the country illegally and intended "hostile acts," according to the nation's state-run news service, KCNA.

"The illegal entry of U.S. reporters into the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] and their suspected hostile acts have been confirmed by evidence and their statements, according to the results of [an] intermediary investigation" conducted by North Korean officials, KCNA reported Monday.

Preparations are being made to try the journalists "on the basis of the already-confirmed suspicions," the report said.

That's it, they're never getting out. Only, unless, we supply them with some much needed missile technology.
