Bill Clinton heads to DPRK to discuss jailed American journos

Thankfully, it looks like the story of Euna Lee and Laura Ling is not yet set to end with 12 years in a North Korean prison. Ex-Prez Bill Clinton is now reportedly on his way to Pyongyang to negotiate the release of the two American journalists. "As soon as he arrives, he will be entering negotiations with the North for the release of the female journalists," a Yonhap source was quoted as saying. Lee and Ling were sentenced to 12 years in a labor camp after being found guilty of illegal entry, espionage and hostility towards North Koreans. They had been filming along the border, allegedly shooting a documentary for Current TV on the human trafficking of North Korean women into China.
