N Korea decides to indict detained U.S. journalists

North Korea likes to blame any problems it has on Americans. It can't face reality. Keep up the Juche spirit N. Koreans. Losers.

Has it been determined if they were on the DPRK side of the border or not? If they were, then more than likely they knew the risks they were taking.

Testing Obama, just like Iran.

That is a tough border to cross. Why would they take that chance with that place. Get what they deserve. Good luck.

Perhaps it is time for the US to tighten the screws a little with regard to both Iran and North Korea.

Let's see if these two journalists get used as pawns for concessions from the US...

only 5 years for espionage?!!?

C`mon DPRK, grow a pair!

I think they can be set free.

Just need some quantity of USD money/fuel aid, a sum where a release deal can be done.

There is need for bill richardson/christopher hill/jimmy carter/madalene albright/anyone to negotiate with Kim jong il administration people.

A deal would have to be cut, but it depends on what evidence the DPRK has on the 2 journalists - trumped up charges or damaging?

Iran also holds journalists - who happen to be American, and women - in the jails from which dissidents usually leave in coffins.

It prolly just a coincidence! Shore would be embarrassin' if some dewy-eyed, unfailingly PC paragon of liberal tolerance had to go on the TV and admit we might just be lookin' at, uh, an axis of evil or somethin' here, wouldn't it.

North Korea is the only die hard country in the world that dared to fight an all out war,they have the most density artillary aiming at US forces in ROK! With the Chinese government backing, this is a game sure win for them to humilate international sanctions it shall never working to deal with North Korea, they are master of blackmail!

The POTUS had better start getting our foreign policy act together because everyone and their mothers are kicking us to see how far they can get away with it.

Two thoughts: The North Korean government is barbarian and those journalists are the worlds biggest idiots for crossing the border.

Somebody call Jimmy Carter.

they allegedly crossed the border from China

Huh? There's obviously a lot more to this story than this 100 word article.
