Korean-American Euna Lee and Chinese-American Laura Ling
Journalist for Current TV arrested by North Korea at Chinese border
and charged with illegal entry and espionage
story:
North Korea confirmed that they had arrested
two asian american journalist, Laura Ling
and Euna Lee, two weeks ago at North Korea's
border with China. The Korean Central News
Agency(KCNA)[1], North Korea's official government
media source, said that Ling and Lee will
be indicted and tried for suspected hostile
Acts against the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK), North Korea's
official name. Euna Lee, Laura Ling, Mitch
Koss, and a Korean Chinese guide had entered
China to interview North Korean defectors
living along the PRC-DPRK border near the
Tumen River. According to JoongAng Ilbo, a
Seoul based newspaper, Lee and LIng were
detained by North Korean border guards on
March 17 at 3am as they were walking along
the shallow Tumen River into North Korea.
Koss and the Korean Chinese guide were able
escape captured by the North Korean. Koss
was later detained by Chinese Border guards
but later released. Koss has reportedly
left China. On March 21, KCNA reported
that two Americans were detained for
illegally intruding from China. On March 22,
South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo newspaper
reported that Lee and ling were at a
Pyongyang military facility and had been
charged with illegal entry and alleged
espionage. Reportedly, Lee and Ling were
detain after ignoring warning by
North Korean board guards to
stop filming. If convicted Lee and Ling
could face up to 20 years in prison.
Laura Ling, a chinese-american, and
Euna Lee, a korean american, both
work as reporters for the San Francisco
based Current TV media venture[2] .
Since the USA does not have
diplomatic relations with the DPRK,
the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang is
representing the USA government. The
Swedish embassy have confirmed that Laura
Ling and Euna Lee are being detained
by North Korea. Observers expect North
Korea will use Ling and Lee as pawns for
some sort of political effort.

TERROR LIST!
That'll sure get The Dear Leader's attention ... !
-------------------
"U.S. to Weigh Returning North Korea to Terror List"
By Peter Finn
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, June 8, 2009
The United States will consider reinstating North Korea to a list of
state sponsors of terrorism, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
said in an interview broadcast yesterday as the Obama administration
looks for ways to ratchet up pressure on Pyongyang after recent
nuclear and missile tests.
"We're going to look at it," Clinton said on ABC's "This Week" when
asked about a letter last week from Republican senators demanding that
North Korea be put back on the list. "There's a process for it.
Obviously we would want to see recent evidence of their support for
international terrorism."
The administration is also pushing for a U.N. Security Council
resolution that would punish the country financially and give the
international community the power to interdict suspect North Korean
cargo, but Clinton acknowledged that some countries have "legitimate
concerns" about targeting international shipments.
"We will do everything we can to both interdict it and prevent it and
shut off their flow of money," Clinton said. "If we do not take
significant and effective action against the North Koreans now, we'll
spark an arms race in Northeast Asia. I don't think anybody wants to
see that."
The North conducted its second nuclear test last month, test-fired
short-range missiles and announced that it was no longer bound by the
1953 armistice that ended hostilities on the Korean peninsula.
President Obama on Saturday called North Korea's actions
"extraordinarily provocative."
The Bush administration removed North Korea from the list of terrorist
states last year as part of an unfulfilled commitment by the
dictatorship to dismantle its nuclear weapons program. North Korea was
placed on the list in 1988 after its agents were implicated in the
bombing of a South Korean airliner that killed 115 people.
State Department officials have noted that the process for reinstating
North Korea to the list is difficult. The United States would need to
document that North Korea has engaged in terrorist acts since its
removal from the list.
Newt Gingrich, appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," welcomed
Clinton's comments.
"In the long run, we're going to have to find a strategy that uses
diplomatic and economic means to replace the current dictatorship,"
the former House speaker said. "I mean, this is an inevitably
terrifying dictatorship that is desperately trying to get enough
nuclear weapons."
Clinton also said the administration is trying to keep separate its
efforts to secure the release of two American journalists facing trial
in North Korea in connection with illegal entry into the country and
"hostile acts."
"We've been very careful in what we've said, because clearly we don't
want this pulled into the political issues that we have with North
Korea, or the concerns that are being expressed in the United Nations
Security Council," she said. "This is separate. It is a humanitarian
issue, and the girls should be let go."

Mr. Embryano,
If Ms Ling and Ms Lee were to become North Korean
sex slaves - it would be very ironic since at the time
time of their capture they were investigating the
trafficking of women along the Chinese-North Korean
border ( as presumedly sex slaves).

2: She has completely erased that website. If she is NOT Meichi,
she

The only reason it was erased is because I have found out who she

3: Her email ID, abianc...@my-deja.com, IS from that server, and she

Neo
North Korea to negotiate the release of the two US journalist
August 4, 2009
composite summary:
----------------------------------
Ex President Bill Clinton is made a surprise visit to
North Korea today. Clinton came over in an unmarked
jet. The Korean Central News Agency (The Official
North Korean News Agency) reported that Clinton
was greeted by Yang Hyong-sop, vice-president
of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly,
and Kim Kye-gwan, the North's vice foreign minister
and chief nuclear negotiator, at the airport. Closely
involved officials reportedly commented that
they believe Clinton's meeting will be brief and that
the visit will be short. Clinton will be the only US
representative at the meetings. It is expected Clinton
will review and negotiate the possible detention
conditions and or release of the imprisonment
of Laura Ling and Euna Lee. The USA has no
official diplomatic relations with North Korea so far. .
