We cannot wait for him to land on American soil and to hear the truth of what he discovered there."

Whatever.

He discovered his "gawwwd" didn't protecet him from the beating he probably took.

Praise Jeebus!

"We cannot wait for him to land on American soil and to hear the truth of what he discovered there."

I imagine it will go something like "North Korea fuckin' blows".

Now if this were those three young people being held in Iran I would actually be happy, this guy just doesn't cause much of any emotional feeling whatever. I'm glad they let him go, I guess.

"The 28-year-old Park, of Tucson, Ariz., slipped across the frozen Tumen River from China into North Korea carrying letters calling on leader Kim Jong Il to close the country's notoriously brutal prison camps and step down from power - acts that could risk a death sentence in the totalitarian nation.

Danni, OF COURSE you're glad they let him go. Why wouldn't you be?
What could possibly prevent you from being glad about it?

Were his actions ill-advised, stupid even? Sure, but COME ON.
The same could be said of the 3 in Iran, though.
Why should he matter less than the them?

"Why should he matter less than the them?"

From what I've heard they accidentally wandered into Iran, he intentionally went into N. Korea.
I just become annoyed when Americans do stunts like this which put our State Dept. in the awkward position of trying to seek their release.

Overthrowing what? North Korea became North Korea without American help.

Were you talking about Iran? Yes, the CIA deposed Mossadegh and that was a major fuckup for the US. Major loss for the Iranians. The Shah wasn't a real swell guy.

He was let go. I was wondering last week why it was announced that the US would NOT be putting NK on the list of state's sponsoring terrorism.

Now we know!

They let him go because they can't afford another mouth to feed...

How much did it cost to get him back?

In some places if your driving a car and do something stupid like driving into and getting caught in a flooded wash you pay for that rescue afterwards.

Whatever this 'rescue' cost he ought to be required to pay for it!

Maybe they let the missionary go to took for a new position.
