I could not turn away this morning during this reunion. There was a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat as I was watching. I'm so happy for all the family. So nice that they are now home and safe. Today I gave my kids extra tight hugs and lots of kisses. We don't know how good we have it, really.

Very emotional to see Laura and Euna reunited with their families.

I got a lump in my throat and watery eyes looking at these pictures. Especially the ones where the women are hugging their husbands and child.

I am moved to tears. Thank you for posting these. Welcome home, ladies!

The powers that be.....got the mission accomplished..
May the two journalists give back as much as they were given.
Freedom to be a American.

Brings tears of joy to my eyes....

This turned out to be a wonderful day with the good news this morning that the journalists will be reunited with their families in Burbank, Ca.
This most important thing is that they are safe and back with their families and friends. I know I worried about their welfare and that is why today is a GREAT day now that they are back. We should be proud of our government negotiating for their release.

I am so glad to see Laura and Euna reunited with their families. These pictures and the images on TV bring tears to my eyes. God bless them!

I wish Lou Dobbs would come out and say it!!!
North Korea is a perfect example of the border security he advocates.

Thank God for people like Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Today marks a day that cowboy politics is OVER! Welcome diplomacy.

The happy ending to this story has brought tears of joy to my eyes.....: )

What a great lesson to all the Far-right-haters, on how diplomacy can work!

Thank you, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, etc., for bringing our Citizens home safely!

: ) : ) : ) : ) !!!!

George W Bush would never have been able to accomplish this.

Bush must be disappointed that no bombs were drop to help the rescue. Cheney must be thinking that Bill Clinton, with all that talking and handshaking, is making the US weaker and placing all American lives in danger.
Good job Bill, Obama, and everybody else.

I have a theory: maybe China allowed guards from North Korea to cross the border to capture these 2 journalists. The subject that they were working on (women trade between China and North Korea) was suppose to embarrass both countries. Allowing N.K. to capture them sounds like a solution to that problem (I'm just trying to think like a Chinese).

Yep. Glad they are home! Now would someone tell me how much it cost us & this country to get them back? Now we have some more idiots held in Iran. Don't we have enough problems in this country?

to elise, weel said,toushe!!!!!!!! you gotta love president bill clinton, he is still a very respected man, got class.....i got chills when laura talked about walking in that room and saw bill clinton that has to be a moment they will remember ALLWAYS !!!!!!!! lots of tears here !!! welcome home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way thanks to everyone involved, including our president BARACK OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bet it's not the first time Bill brought two women home.

So what did we do to secure this release? What did we promise? I'm sure the North Koreans didn't suddenly just have an attack of 'nice'; nor was this the result of any jokes Mr. Bill told at dinner.

I echo all the positive remarks above. God Bless everyone that had a
hand in bringing these two women home. However, the coverage tonight is turning my stomach. I think we should put Carl Rove, Dick Morris and Dick Chaney in a row boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I'd throw in Bush too but I have to give him credit for keeping a low profile since the election.

It was a wonderful moment for them and for all of us. We are so fortunate to live in a free country, yet all the majority of people do is complain. If only we could all REALLY work together for the good of everyone.

This day is such a happy day. Watching Euna Lee with her 4 year old reduced me to tears – it doesn't get any better than that. This year hasn't been very good until today and today has to be the best day so far this year – it brought together family and love, courage through adversity, generosity of spirit, diplomacy over rhetoric, humanity of all people, and humility over brashness. I felt it a rare privilege to be able to watch the homecoming of the two women.

Thank God for the Democrats. With a group effort like Hillary Clinton Secretary of State, President Barack Obama and Former President Bill Clinton how can one lose?

Now it looks like they will have to do the same thing with Iran. They should even go as far as using President Clinton along with President Obama when dealing with Israel. Not as a sign of weakness but as a sign of solidarity.....

Thank you, Clinton/Gore Team! Thank you, thank you, & thank you! Once again you PROVE you can do it!

Kudos to Bill Clinton & Al Gore! What an amazing feat!

One cannot help but smile and cry at the same time. What a blessing for so many!

Once again walking away from consequence gives me tears in my eyes.

I had been thinking about and praying for these women. Don't care what the circumstances or negotiations were, just glad they are home where they belong!

Whatever or whoever it took to get the job; the job was done! The results are 2 women are free; they are home with their families tonight where they should be. Thank you to all those involved in bringing them home...job well done!!

Very touching photos of the 2 journalists reunited with their families! Thanks to Gore, Clinton, and our current President Obama for this great feat! Of course, the skeptics will think that the US sold their souls to the North Koreans – we don't know that! Maybe diplomacy works instead of being pushy!

Great job, Bill Clinton. We have lost nothing by having our former President do the right thing, the right way.

With the return of Laura and Euna, all citizens of the world edge closer to universal freedom and the possibility of lasting peace. May all of us continue to take up the mantle of peace – inner and outer – starting today, in appreciation of this positive development on the international stage.

I prayed for the safe return of these journalist. But now i wonder how sister Luci Ling feels about the significant role Bill Clinton played in the role of her sister's release?

I will never forget the cruel and mean remarks made by Luci years ago ABOUT PRESIDENT AND HILARY CLINTON when Luci was a regular host on "The View," when many were demanding President Clinton's removal from office and her cruel criticizing of Hilary for standing by Bill? It just goes to show we should always treat people well as we never know if they are the blessing we may need some time in life.

We share everyone´s happiness on the reunited families of the two mothers: no doubt about that! After David´s and Peter´s encounter on the program and putting sentiments aside, a basic curiosity arises: why did the asian ladies (implying they might speak the language of the area) as reporters cross the delicate, controversial, and dangerous boundary whithout permission in the first place? What "story" were they looking for? Hard to believe they didn´t know where they were going or doing. They ended up putting everyone on the spot. So who started the whole thing? Glad they´re home but something is missing.

Its great to see them back. The Ling's are hotties, and the more of them there are, the better.

It's amazing how anyone can criticize the act of going to Korea to rescue two american journalists and try to justify it by saying that now all rogue nations will insist on having a high profile person like an ex president go to secure Americans taken hostage. And, that it encourages hostage taking. Wow!

Another thing that amazes me is that there is always talk about how there is no news out of North Korea. That they do not reveal anything. Yet we have experts now talking about news reports inside North Korea concerning the former president's visit to bring the two journalists back. It is suggested that they are using it for propaganda. Wait, why would a government that controls its' people so completely need propaganda?

Of course, all of the criticism is prefaced with the delight in having brought the women back. Of course! Thanks for caring so much for the safety and welfare of fellow Americans!

I hope people are paying close attention to these critics..

This is a wonderful tribute to our government and our leaders! I admire Bill Clinton and Al Gore taking such an active part in the release of these innocent women. What a gift to AMERICA to have the two journalists returned to their families. God is good and uses the talents of all to make this move possible! Thank You to Bill Clinton on
showing the world what a classy person he really is...Hillary can be proud of him!

Bill and team, thank you so much I know you can.

As someone in the field working in a potentially dangerous environment, such as Lauara Ling, Euna Lee, and Michael Ware do reporters really accept the fact that they may be kidnapped, detained, arrested, etc.? Albeit great that Laura and Euna got back to the States today, I feel like they can't believe that this happened to them. Is this not a calculated risk that you take as a journalist even if you think that you did nothing wrong? I personally like to get off the beaten track and when I do I assume that I am taking a risk and that something may happen even if I am not trying to do something illegal.

Good the journalists came back but why nobody mentions they crossed the border ilegally? Just because they are "americans" they can not be taken before a court of law in NK? Now they cry because were released but why they dont mention they crossed ilegally? Or americans thing that the fact of being "americans" allow them to disobey law? Dont americans haunt mexicans like animals and out them in cages , by the same reason, crossing ilegally?

These two are getting undue attention as they knew what they were doing. This will only encourge other morons to violate other countries borders and cause undue international crisis. Sad thing is that they will both make millions with book signings and movie deals. They should not give them any attention.

Smart move on Obama's part by sending the smoothest, slickest talker in the free world to do the negotiation. Congrats to Bill, Obama, Al Gore from the beginning, Hillary, and the Administration.

Why didn't pres Obama do any thing for the release of them? He had time to stick his nose into local police business. I guess it just isnt important enough or is it a race issue? The whole issue was just pushed aside. What is the deal???? Way to go EX-PRES Clinton............

bernice, how can you say "these innocent woman" if they had crossed the border ilegally? Dont you read the entire news? It is true punishment could be disproportionate but they crossed ilegally, were caught by poilce and taken before a court of law. Now everybody cries, poor woman, how good they were released.........but why nobody mentions they crossed the border ilegally, just looking for a good report?

I am a Canadian and I have to say that what Bill Clinton and Al Gore done, was beyond what any man in political power could do. He brought home two very special and brave journalists, to reunite with their loved ones in waiting.. As well as all American, Canadians watched their homecoming with heart wrenching tears, as these two ladies were welcomed with open arms, back onto American soil. For these past five months, they were held from their families, to find, after all, they are finally home to rebuild their lives in harmony. I wish these two journalists, a warm welcome back into the arms of so many who missed them, a peaceful and joyous future. You were so brave and so hopeful and now your dreams and prayers have been answered. A special thank-you to Mr. Bill Clinton, whom I have always thought so much of.

Do you only allow comments in line what your own thinking? Just because I say these journalists crossed ilegally, you erased? Isnt true they crossed to NK playing stupid and just looking for a good article? well, they got one, maybe disproportionate but got it, for sure.

Can't we just be happy that the women are back here? Why do people have to read too much into this? This should be a happy time for the families. I for one have been following this ever since it was on the news. I know they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I want to know that they are safe and with their loved ones. I'm sure when they are ready they will share with "us" what they went through. Untill then, PLEASE leave them ALONE!!

i was very glad to see the 2 women home in the USA, and you gotta love Bill for his charming ways to bring them home SAFELY!!!!!!

So glad these two corageous women are back home safe with their families! God bless them as well as Pres. Clinton, VP Gore, Pres. Obama and all others who were involved in the women's release.

I don't get how people can criticize what was accomplished by them. They just proved that diplomacy and dialogue can be a better solution than bombs!

I am happy that they are home but I appalled that this Mother cared so little for her daughter that she put herself at such risk. Now that little girl will always know that her Mother cared more about her career and her message than being safe at home where she could Mother her

It was really great to see two women finally came back to US-really amoved moment. Now they should feel so relax at their home.
Hope their life will be peaceful than ever.

But please remember that there are still some of the people from Japan, south korea and another countries who have been still confined into North Korea as abduction victims. I hope they also will be released soon so that all families can unite/ spend time together again. Please remember them.

President Clinton your the man

I feel that what President Clinton did for these two ladies goes beyond words. He gave them back their families and their lives.

Not a clinton supporter but definitely have a new respect for him show that americans care for their citizens. I don't understand how bringing two people home to their families especially a child can be seen as anything but the right thing to do

How Great to see America value their Citizen, Proud to live in this country, Thank You Bill Clinton. Good Job Obama. Good Bless The USA

It is heartbreaking, after all that Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and the hostages family did to finally bring their loved ones home from North Korea, that there are still hardliners here in America that have only negative remarks about their release. I am so sick of these old white men hardliners that are no longer in power here in the USA saying anything at all about the whole situation. This is one of the reasons why the Republicans are out of the White House, hopefully permanently.

hooray! hooray! l'm sooooooooo happy that Secretary Clinton,President Clinton the well known genius in politics,as well as the Obama Adminstration pull this political operation off so smoothly
and quitely.l think God for them and l think God forThe koreans and their officials for being very understand, about the ordeal.apologist
is the word..Ours Goverment brought those journalist home, but for my understand they crossed over the border illegally, as being part of the media ,l hope there would be a lesson to learn from this ordeal.
l think that United States Citizens especially journalist,need to know other countries laws.before they enter in foreign terrory.: kowning foreign laws,will give one 2nd thought on crossing foreign border illegally,therefore one will not find themselves in dangerous
situation,such as captivity.
again ! Shout out to : The Clintons. Gore's And Obama
Administation.,
next time let's talk diplomacy,ours prayers go out to President
Chimoy health,hope he get better soon.

Bill Clinton can be our President again anytime. Bill Clinton just saved two mothers, two wives, two sisters, two American Journalists. Thank you Bill. God Bless America.

To: president Jim Jong : prayers for your health, get
well soon. Think! for being understanding, and releasing
our journalist.. United States of America.

I feel bad for the women. But they were guilty of the crimes they were tried for. They did intentionally enter another country to take pictures of stuff that the N Korean government considered secrect. Thats a crime both here as well as there. Just because you don't like the secrects does not give you the right to SPY. If the tables were turned and we (The United States) caught two N Koean women sneaking into a secrect facility here with cameras, what would we have done? The two women had a conection to the government, they work openly for a former Vice President, This all is a dog and pony show over spys and the deeds they do, Sorry about your bad luck

Bill and Al has always made a great team! Thank-you again for stepping in and helping in the time in need! No guns were fired and no lives were taken. You just got to sit down and talk it out. Thanks!
