What are you talking about? He was caught with it, admitted he took it, and planned to leave the country with it.

You don't know that at all. All you know is what North Korea has said - that's it.

And you trust North Korea.

Not once has he denied stealing it, and has in fact admitted it on the world-wide stage. Would you do that if you were being set up? Sorry, I’m not as gullible as you. While 15 years at hard labor is grossly unfair, he could have gotten death by machine gunning. Maybe Rodman can get him out.

The whole thing could be a setup. For instance, reputedly young Bill Clinton left England to travel to the Soviet Union. And young Barry Obama was not seen at Columbia U (I was a student there during the same years.) This current “young” man is quite photogenic. Who is he really and what was he doing there? The answer may be revealed after his release. What will Obama trade for his release and how will the young man be used? Or maybe he's just a typical heavy drinking, ignorant young American?
