Carter Wins Release of American in North Korea

SEOUL, South Korea — Former President Jimmy Carter was expected to leave North Korea on Friday with Aijalon Mahli Gomes, an American who was sentenced to eight years of hard labor for illegally entering the country, the Carter Center said.

“Former President Jimmy Carter announced that he is leaving Pyongyang, North Korea, this morning accompanied by Mr. Aijalon Mahli Gomes,” the Carter Center said in a statement sent in an e-mail message.

Mr. Carter had been visiting Pyongyang on a private humanitarian mission to win the release of Mr. Gomes, who was sentenced in April to eight years in a North Korean prison and fined $700,000 for entering the country illegally. There has also been speculation that North Korea might try to use Mr. Carter as a conduit to ease tensions with the United States.

Mr. Carter had arrived on Wednesday at the invitation of the North Korean government, but he apparently did not meet with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il.

Love you Jimmy Carter

12. So, the next time some goofy-ass reporter tries to sneak into NK

which ex-President will be called on to swoop in and save his foolhardy butt?

I'm glad that President Carter was successful, but if he had not been, it might have been a slight deterrent to those who think Kim Jung Il is just playing around.

13. Yeah!! How come Republicans never put themselves into

harm's way to help others?

[NoSheep]
