Now if they had crossed into America from Mexico, we wouldn’t even have a story.
But if they crossed into Mexico from America, would we have a story?

How f'ing idiotic can you get? Crossing a border to go INTO North Korea. As the old military saying goes: "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

Thanks for the commentary and maps. Helps me think about how I feel about this regrettable situation.

I did not have much sympathy for them before.

After reading the above I have zero sympathy for them now.

Well, lets face it, Mitch was not gallant. Mitch will have to explain why he ran while they were dragging off the girls. I don't think I could have done what Mitch did.

I guess that Mitch Koss was supposed to rescue them, cuz they're girls. While I do think that you're not supposed to leave your team behind, I also think that they're going to tell Oprah that all these mean men abandoned them.

If the border isn't clearly marked, how does she know she was back in China when the North Korean guards seized them? You can't have it both ways, ladies.

Richard I found what may be a base south of Tumen. Just follow the river south and you can see the base I uploaded over on the ROK Drop Forums: http://rokdrop.com/forums/topic.php?id=163

"but when the guide beckoned us to follow him beyond the middle of the river , we did". They knew what they were doing.
