Well, their visit has allowed us to see that Kim is recovering from his stroke. I guess he will be in charge for a while longer.

I guess I'm not up on FOX news as much as you are. I'm not aware of any arrests. However, in theory, yes. If an employee does something wrong or unlawful while working for an employer, many times the employer can be held legally responsible.

Do you ask for an apology from Rupert Murdoch every time a Fox News reporter is arrested?

Ironically, if they hadn't been caught we'd all be discussing the video right now…Most probably coming to the consensus that North Korea is a shit hole.

Since they are employees of AL-GORE I would think HE owes the apology. Especially if they haven't the class to do so on a personal level.

So far I have not heard a single apology from these two idiots. No apology to the people and families they video taped and may have condemed to prison or death and no apologies to the Amreican people for making us look stupid and costing us a ton of money. Couple of C%#n@s.

I have to disagree with everything PARTAKE just partook.

1. This was not a kidnapping incident. By all accounts, the Current TV crew crossed the border onto North Korean territory. They were not dragged.

2. They did not cross a bridge. There is no bridge at the point along the Tumen River where they crossed the boundary, which is just north of Mapai village in Yueqing township.

3. Did the US State Department issue a notice for Americans to stay xx miles away from the Iran border? Americans who live in China know better than to cross the Tumen River into North Korea. We don't need to be issued a notice from the US embassy in Beijing and the State Department is not worried about us doing something so stupid that only a drunk mental case (Evan Hunziker) and Current TV's crew have ever been caught doing.

I think it's NK's playbook to kidnap a foreigner when they're not getting what they want. Yes, it's possible these two crossed into NK but I'm pretty sure they were either close to the border or they got tricked into crossing a bridge. I think the U.S. State Department should issue a notice for Americans in China to stay at least xx miles away from the NK border.

Exactly my point.

You are wrong again JoeC, but I'm sure you are pretty used to it. I don't suspect you will man up.
