2 jailed journalists pardoned

How does an American "private citizen" visit North Korea? On whose passport, and whose visa?

This proves North Korea is not willing to play on the world stage; they'll deal only with rogue "statesmen".

And Bill Clinton now can say he didn't get bested by Jesse Jackson.

Bottom line -- illegal behavior on the part of many people has once again been reported, praised, and rewarded.

Exactly. How does a private citizen visit? They don't! North Korea does not allow visitors. These people who go to Iraq, North Korea and other places they're not supposed to be don't get much sympathy from me when they get in trouble for it.

Yeah, kinda like dat dude who broke into Burma to visit Aung Sang Suu Kyii (I know I probably butchered her name). The regime was waiting for a reason to put her on trial, then come this guy to do it. Nice going . . . NOT
