What you’re not hearing on the MSM: Two American journalists captured by North Korea…

This comes at a particularly sensitive time for the Obama administration. They have already protested the upcoming missile launch from ……

We have finally found a border that the MSM believes should not be crossed illegally.

Lesson learned: When a hinese official tells you that it would be dangerous for you to visit a town in his country, at least consider his advice. He is probably making a grave understatement.

The river in question was frozen, and is about as effective a control as a sieve.

Apparently the local Chinese authorities allow NORK soldiers to cross and enter the Chinese border town regularly to retrieve their slaves.

From
…They were detained later that day, along with their guide, Chun said, citing sources. He refused to reveal their names and said it was unclear whether they were seized in North Korean or Chinese territory….
North Korean spies have long acted with impunity when policing or trying to retrieve their own people.

Another Article said they were warned not to take pictures of North Korea and wouldn’t stop. Sounds to me like they were close to the border taking pictures/video of North Korea and the “Police” crossed into China and abducted them to stop the filming. They often arrest people for taking pictures in North Korea.

I see no indication at all they would respect this border and not cross it to stop filming of a sensitive area. Every indication would indicate they would do whatever necessary to stop the filming. Short of shooting them. It is very dangerous to even get close to North Korea.

Maybe Al Gore could trade the North Koreans some carbon credits for his two intrepid journalists.

It seems unlikely that the North Koreans would have crossed the border themselves to capture the two women.

It does? If they’ll take a frikkin’ submarine, surface in a Japanese bay, and kidnap Japanese citizens from 800 miles away, I think it seems EXTREMELY likely that they took these women themselves.

To the NoKo soldiers who have been told that the outside world is evil, but who see that they haven’t a chance against it, the two reporters must have represented lovely, soft targets.

Now we’ll see if the wildly-left drive-by media considers these two worth their indignation.

Try thinking for once, instead of feeling. If one ventures into a snake-pit, one is likely to be bitten.

Journalists put themselves in danger to expose what is going on in closed societies like the wreck that is North Korea.

If only they would display as much courage here at home. There’s a wreck up there in DC that needs a few real journalists!

Can't Obamatool just send North Korea a message of reconciliation, kinda like the one he sent Iran for Nowruz? Who can resist Obama's charms, especially with profound and happy messages celebrating the arrival of Spring? Although come to think of it, it may be more appropriate to wait until May 1st to say, greetings comrades...

Bull pucky. Check the Korean DMZ at Wiki and you’ll see a list of two dozen incursions to the South by the North Koreans. Also a good number of violations of the neutral zone including incidents that killed a good number of our troops. Between stories from family members stationed there and my own visit to the DMZ and Panmunjeom when I was stationed in Korea, I can say that even the supposedly neutral joint security areas are very tense and dangerous. The Norks have snatched people from the neutral zone itself. Frankly it’s very spooky there. The Norks are very aggressive, transgressive, and thrive on provocation.

I see nothing preventing them from grabbing two troublesome American reporters on the north side of a frozen river with their Chinese border.

Especially now that they stand to win so much with the new Great American Security Bailout.
