Euna Ling and Laura Lee - pardoned and free

Written by sthomasberg on
From:   growmercy.org
We all signed the Care2 petition , felt good about it, and hoped that some kind of "law of attraction" would kick in and get through to the topsy-turvy head of Kim Jong-II–perhaps turning his mind to beneficence and mercifully releasing the two journalists. Then, yesterday, news came down that Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who were arrested near the North Korean - Chinese border in March while on assignment from Current TV, were onboard a plane with Bill Clinton, heading home to California. So what happened? Diplomatic coup for Clinton or propaganda victory for Kim Jong-II or a bit of both? Just before ... Read Full Story

Get Lisa Ling's Cool, Laid-Back Style
Lisa Ling was the epitome of cool, laid-back sophistication as she walked the red carpet at the Dizzy Feet Foundation's inaugural Celebration of Dance. I love how she accessorized her long, straightened locks with a fedora for a crisp, city-girl look. To keep that cool factor going, she added a touch of black liquid liner and peach-toned makeup to her eyes and cheeks, wearing a nude lipstick to top it all off. To re-create Lisa's effortless...

How Not to Get Arrested When You're Abroad: A Foxy Knoxy-Inspired Guide
I'm calling bull on Euna Lee and Laura Ling's claim that they didn't know they had crossed into North Korea. From what I read in the Economist and elsewhere it should've been very clear to them and their guides from the topography that they were in North Korea. They just wanted a segment where they reported they were in North Korea. The real travesty is that both women are profiting off their indiscretion while it has made life much harder for...
