Laura Ling

Not sure if many of you have Current TV as one of your cable channels but if you do you may know their reporter Laura Ling. She is one of their investigative reporters and in my opinion she does very interesting stories. She covers many stories that main stream media does not cover.

For the last two weeks she has been help as a prisoner of North Korea. She and Euna Lee, a fellow reporter along with a male camera man, who later escaped, where captured by North Korean soldiers along the Korean/Chinese border while doing a story about North Koreans escaping into China. It is not at all clear if they were actually in North Korea. They were straddling the border for sure. Now North Korea is putting these two on trial. Since we have no diplomatic relationship with North Korea we are using Sweden as our mediator. Much of the press has no said much about this. Of course this is great for North Korea and I bet they will use this for all they can. Hopefully this gets resolved quickly and these two are subject too any harsh interrogation. You know they have but put through at whole bunch already.

Keep your fingers crossed. Who knows where this could lead.
