OK. Since it's now in the paper, Obama can get right on it.

[Common Sense 101]

Gee, I wonder why North Korea would take such a provocative action with Sparky at the helm.

[ilovesarah2012]

Why would anyone in their right mind want to visit NK as a tourist?

[elpadre]

How many terrorists will he give to get this guy back??

[conejo99]

Many we can exchange a few million dollars and the pressure South Korea to release all their spies all spies for him.

[don-o]

Let’s not blame the victim here.

[AppyPappy]

He was probably filming too much. Youtube is full of videos about North Korea.

[ilovesarah2012]

I am not blaming anyone. I asked a question.

[Fresh Wind]

Kim Jong Un wants Dennis Rodman back.

[traderrob6]

Exactly my first thought as well.

You put yourself in harms way you’re likely to be harmed. You’re not a “victim” if you aren’t savvy enough to attempt to avoid trouble.

I don't know and I think if you go off to a known enemy of the United States, it should come as no great surprise that you will be kidnapped.

While I was over looking for that travel warning. I stumbled across this.

Unbelievable. Do they have a special page for minorities?

Some days I just want to crawl back in bed and pull the covers up over my head.

[defconw]

I’ll go check. They do have one for women travelers.

No blame there, just a very legitimate question. Traveling to places where they treat even their own people poorly seems like a bad idea, especially since they don’t care much for the US.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

So is time to release another 5 N Korean terrorists?

Dennis Rodman can be a negotiator—in drag.....

[defconw]

Well according to the state department, I don’t think it’s wise to leave the country at all.

[tenger]

Reuters has this additional line: “[Japanese news agency] Kyodo cited unidentified diplomatic sources as saying the American was detained just before he was to leave North Korea, for having left a Bible in his hotel.”

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Wow! I bet he was trying to plant seeds as an evangelist?

Keep this man in your prayers please!
