Two American Journalilsts Imprisoned in North Korea

Yet another news item not being reported in the MSM. Two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, are in prison in North Korea for "engaging in hostile acts". They went on trial yesterday, June 4. Ling is the sister of Lisa Ling, who was co-host at one time for "The View". The only mention of this by Clinton and the State Department was made in a speech at Barnard College in New York. She advised “We have two young women journalists right now in prison in North Korea, and you can get busy on the Internet and let the North Koreans know that we find that absolutely unacceptable.”

Get on the Internet??? Say what? We have two Americans captured by an enemy of the United States. Get on the Internet? It's "unacceptable"? Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi, who was convicted of spying for the U.S. but was released in Tehran on May 12, was due in large measure by the US and US Media making an international fuss. I can't, for the life of me, understand why Clinton, Obama or the State Department have not made any serious effort to get these women out. If they have, why aren't they saying what they are doing? Why isn't the MSM asking Obama what's going on and what he's doing? Requests to the State Department from Conservative media for information have been ignored.
