This video should be seen by everyone even if they haven't got a loved one serving in the military in Iraq or Afghanistan. It sickens this blogger how few people give a damn about our troops overseas. The media is much to blame. The media in the United States is a total disgrace with the way they are avoiding coverage of the two wars. Hell, there was more coverage of the War of 1812 in the press than there is now of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

TWO U.S. FEMALE JOURNALISTS SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS OF HARD LABOR IN NORTH KOREA



CNN) -- Two U.S. journalists who were detained in North Korea while covering the plight of defectors living along the China-North Korea border have been sentenced to 12 years in labor camps, the country's state-run media said Monday.

SOURCE: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/06/08/nkorea.journalists/index.html

The Central Court of North Korea sentenced Laura Ling and Euna Lee for the "grave crime they committed against the Korean nation and their illegal border crossing," the Korean Central News Agency said.

As a result, the court sentenced the women to "12 years of reform through labor," meaning they will serve out their sentence in a labor camp.

The U.S. State Department said it had seen the reports of the convictions and was trying to confirm it with Korean authorities.

"We are deeply concerned by the reported sentencing of the two American citizen journalists by North Korean authorities, and we are engaged through all possible channels to secure their release," said spokesman Ian Kelley in a statement. "We once again urge North Korea to grant the immediate release of the two American citizen journalists on humanitarian grounds."
Ling and Lee were taken into custody March 17. They are reporters for California-based Current TV, a media venture of former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.

According to media reports, the trial began Thursday. Much of the time, the only news coming from the secretive and isolated communist nation is relayed through the state media.
Don't Miss


The U.S. State Department was informed by the Swedish ambassador to North Korea that no observers were allowed in the courtroom.

EDITORIAL COMMENT: Now that the two female journalists have been sentenced to 12 years of hard labor in North Korea, I hope I don't hear any right winger suggesting we go to war with North Korea. I was in the Army during the last Korean War and 60% of my Combat Company were either killed or wounded in Korea. They are ruthless fighters and will easily die for their country. Last week that right wing idiot Bill Krystol said we should "target" North Korea with air strikes. Does that little mope have any idea what would happen if we did that? North Korea would wipe South Korea and our 35,000 troops stationed on the DMZ off the map in ONE DAY.
