Over at One Free Korea he has an update that he received word that Laura Ling and Euna Lee are "anguished" by this report and critical blog postings:

Like OFK says what do they expect when none of them will come clean on what happened? Also when you stand to make millions off of getting NK refugees arrested and deported why wouldn't people be critical of you?

Now if they used the money to raise to actually help NK refugees that would be a different story, but so far there has been no indication they plan to do that.

The New York Times has caught wind of this story.

In South Korea, Freed U.S. Journalists Come Under Harsh Criticism

It includes the first quote I've seen from Mitch Koss since St Patrick's Day:

'The cameraman, Mr. Koss, declined to answer specific questions about the trip until Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee had spoken first. Still, he said, he was amazed by “how many untrue stories have been published in the last five months” and how “when there is silence, fantasy answers to fill in empty spaces.”'

They are responsible for each and every one of the lives they put in jeapordy. The Goracle is as much to blame for having sent or sponsored such incompetant people on such a perilous journey. Yes politics and the MSM will play a large part in defusing any culpability of the "poor mistaken girls who were captured and sent to jail for no reason", but the truth is that they may be complicit in the unwarrented arrest and murder of innocent refugees due to their negligence.

But Gerry,

THEY ARE HEROES! The Goracle has spoken from his mansion, back into your mud cave peon.

I certainly hope the MSM picks up on this. It is very important for people to know the damage these woman did to other peoples lives in their quest for a photo op. Disgusting lame brained journalists looking for a story.
