For the last few months, along with a few committed friends and supporters, I have attempted through blogs and articles to keep attention on the situation regarding my close friend Laura Ling and her colleague Euna Lee who were imprisoned in North Korea for the last 4.5 months. Today, because of the efforts of many people including the thousands of activists, supporters, and well-wishers on channels like this one, Laura and Euna were pardoned and are currently on their way home to their families with former President Bill Clinton.

Laura Ling and Euna Lee, reporters for former Vice President Al Gore's Current TV media venture, were detained last March by North Korea, accusing the Americans of engaging in "hostile acts".
Laura Ling is the sister of Lisa Ling, ex-host of "The View".
