Laura Ling: Captive in North Korea

Yikes, locked up in North Korea, what a nightmare that would be!

It looks like many of the North Korean people are lucky to even have a single bowl of rice a day, I wonder how meager the food is to their prisoners? Involuntary starvation is the menu for the day?

left an message here but you deleted. these girls should not have gone over the line. take the consequences but now they are on tv and have a book deal. larry king get back toward the middle. clinton would not have helped me.. think of the ones in Iran that did the same as these two but they are well known. you embarass me, larry.

Does anyone get the impression these girls are media opportunists.

jamie and toni....i agree with you both wholeheartedly. And yes....cnn tends to delete alot of good posts. they are no longer a "news" network and lkl is one giant commercial. the women broke the law, which makes them criminals and now they are trying to profit. it's pretty sickening stuff.

I personally think it is unpatriotic and unamerican. lisa ling lied to the north koreans and the American public when she said she knew her sister did not intend to break the law. now we hear the sister admitting it. and she wants our money to reward her to read her crappy book. no thank you.

now how about lkl and cnn put one of the thousands of real American heroes on their show instead of these admitted criminals and opportunists. words cannot even describe how vile and sickening these women are to me.

I think these ladies are very passionate about what they do. Would you risk what they did to get a story. One that probably needed telling. We are supposed to be living in the 21st Century and not the Dark Ages.

I take my hat off to these women and they don't need the slagging off either. They are very brave. I don't think they did this for themselves.

Thank the Lord they arrived safely back home.

Sorry you were duped into crossing the border. Sorry you lacked the foresight to investigate where you were going. Sorry that high profile people were required to set you free. (but happy for your release).

Sorry, but I will not reward your naiveity by buying your book.

Sure, they were duped!!
Thousands of mexicans are duped every day to cross our borders!
They don´t want to do it. but are duped by CIA, NSA and other agents.

If the Ling sisters are so passionate about helping the individuals in need, why not donate the proceeds from their book to that cause?
