Vigil for Reporters who Broke the law...
Read news of vigil for two jailed reporters for Current TV, who were arrested and convicted for an illegal border crossing and an unspecified "grave crime" in North Korea earlier this year, to be held in San Francisco tonight. The two American journalists were captured in North Korea and sentenced to 12 years hard labor.
As sympathetic as i am for what the families of these journalist must be going through, I do have to wonder about whether reporters, consider these things before trying to break their next story. It seems that they knew what they did was wrong as one of the reporters admits what they did was illegal in a plea for diplomacy to help them out. The US Government has been pleading clemency but with the worst relations in decades happening now, I suspect they will become a pawn in PyonYangs dangerous game of politicking.
