Default Clinton Gains the release of the 2 journalists
Wa she even on the ground before they released them?

In this image taken from a footage shot by APTN, Former U.S. President Bill Clinton receives a bouquet of flowers upon his arrival at an airport in Pyongyang, North Korea, Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2009. Clinton made a surprise trip to North Korea on Tuesday amid an international standoff over the country's nuclear program and concerns about two U.S. reporters imprisoned in Pyongyang since March.

North Korean media say leader Kim Jong Il has pardoned two American journalists and ordered their release during the visit of former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) _ Former President Bill Clinton met Tuesday with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on the first day of a surprise mission to Pyongyang to negotiate the release of two Americans, holding "exhaustive" talks on a wide range of topics, state-run media said.

Clinton "courteously" conveyed a verbal message from President Barack Obama, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a report from Pyongyang. Kim expressed his thanks, and engaged Clinton in a "wide-ranging exchange of views on matters of common concern," the report said.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, however, denied Clinton went with a message from Obama. "That's not true," he told reporters.
Clinton was in communist North Korea on a mission to secure the freedom of Americans Euna Lee and Laura Ling, reporters for former Vice President Al Gore's Current TV media venture who were arrested along the Chinese-North Korean border in March and sentenced in June to 12 years of hard labor for illegal entry and engaging in "hostile acts."

No he didn't. The deal was already cut before he showed up over there. It was already being talked about last night except for what it has now cost our nation.

The report I heard was that his visit was a matter of going through the motions; that it had been hammered out previously, but he was the one the Koreans had requested to close the deal.

Your right, his being there was for them to save face. However, there to greet Clinton and I believe the first person to shake his hand was none other than the cheif negotiator for NK on the Nuke talks. Hmmm, what do you think that means?

He was considered, as was Kerry and a few others.

Who cares? Americans are coming home. That's what matters. I fail to see the importance of who gets to take credit.
