Editor's Note: In early June Anderson spoke to the families of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, American journalists detained in North Korea. A couple of days later, Ling and Lee were sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of entering North Korea illegally. Former President Bill Clinton is in North Korea, unannounced, to negotiate their release.

August 4th, 2009 3:22 pm ET Anderson, according to Rick Sanchez, the ladies have received a pardon and are to be allowed to return home. Is this correct? I sincerely hope so! Donna Wood p.s. The time here as I watched this particular coverage is 2:21 pm. |

August 4th, 2009 3:48 pm ET mr cooper : I am glad your journalists are free after admitting guilt ,what a " compassionate " (LOL) country N. Korea is. Now how about the U.S showing compassion to those in Guantanamo being held for years without charges and against the rules of war . PS i think Americans hiking anywhere in the world should be able to read a map. |

August 5th, 2009 12:07 am ET I am so thrilled for these two families of these girls! I know they are happy and just cant wait to see them! I can only imagine of how it is to not be in touch with them and know what they are doing or how there health is doing. I just pray that nothing like this ever happens again with the two. I hope that nothing will seperate the family ever again. They surely didn't deserve all this time away from there families. There jobs are very dangerous and you do have to know that there are things that can happen as they have seen for them selves. I will pray for there safe return to there families from where they took off and to where they land back in the USA! |
