Well then, I guess I'm the dick

Shortly after Clinton's meeting with Kim Jong Il, news is breaking that the two imprisoned journalists will be set free.

SEOUL, South Korea — The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, pardoned two jailed American journalists, the official KCNA news agency has reported, according to Reuters. The report came after former President Bill Clinton met with the reclusive and ailing Mr. Kim in Pyongyang on Tuesday. Mr. Kim granted “a special pardon,” KCNA said in a statement. It was not clear how rapidly the two journalists, Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36, might be allowed to leave the country. They were being held near Pyongyang after having been sentenced to 12 years at hard labor for entering North Korea illegally. [Source: Nytimes.com].

I still stand by my statement that this makes Hillary look impotent, but whatever. I guess the good news is, no one important goes to labor-camp. It is, arguably, the worst of the camps. Even fat camp has sugar-free jello and ghost stories.
