North Korea Imprisons Two American Journalists-update

I reported three days ago that two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were captured and imprisoned. Their trial is over and they've been convicted. In the secret trial they were sentenced to 12 years hard labor. When the N Korean government has done this in the past, they've used the hostages to negotiate for food and some item they need. Let's hope that's the case here. Gee, I thought our own Dear Leader was supposed to have everyone mellow out and love us by now.
