Ling: Rodman trip could be an opportunity
Sisters and journalists Lisa and Laura Ling are speaking out about the surprising trip basketball player Dennis Rodman made to North Korea with a Vice camera crew. No U.S. diplomats have met with the country's new leader who continues to defy the U.N. by carrying out nuclear tests and threatening the safety of South Korea and the United States.
Unlike most Americans, Laura has seen firsthand what goes on inside the reclusive country and has experienced the government’s brutality. She was jailed and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor in North Korea in 2009 after she was detained with another journalist, Euna Lee. With help from President Clinton, Lisa was able to free her sister and Lee five months after they were first imprisoned.
Anderson asks Lisa if she thinks Rodman is aware of the cruel treatment carried out by North Korea's government against their own people. "After watching him be interviewed this weekend, I really don't think he had any clue. I don't think he would have talked about Kim Jong Un or the North Korean regime so effusively had he known," she says.
