Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has spoken up on behalf of the two Asian-American journalists – Euna Lee & Laura Ling – who are currently imprisoned in North Korea.  She is asking and hoping that North Korea would grant amnesty to the two ladies.

The State Department signaled the change in its approach to the case Thursday when a spokesman called for their release “on amnesty grounds,” a formulation that seemed to imply acceptance of the North Korean judicial process. Secretary Clinton reiterated that position Friday in response to a question at a “town hall meeting” with State Department employees. “The two journalists and their families have expressed great remorse for this incident,” she said. “And I think everyone is very sorry that it happened. What we hope for now is that these two young women would be granted amnesty through the North Korean system and be allowed to return home to their families as soon as possible.” Clinton told reporters on the day the two women were sentenced that the case should be viewed as a humanitarian matter and that they should be granted clemency by North Korea and deported.  Read more>
