North Korea to put U.S. journalists on trial

Between this and North Korea's missile launch I would expect the Obama administration to be pretty vocal. But not a peep from the White House about two US citizens who were kidnapped by North Korea.

North Korea claims the US journalists were carrying out "hostile acts", whatever that means probably anything the North Koreans want it to. Reuters

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Tuesday it would put on trial two U.S. journalists arrested earlier this month on its border with China, accusing them of "hostile acts."[...]

The two women reporters, Laura Ling and Euna Lee from the U.S.-based media outlet Current TV, were arrested two weeks ago by the Tumen River, which runs along the east side of the border between North Korea and China.

"The illegal entry of U.S. reporters into the DPRK (North Korea) and their suspected hostile acts have been confirmed by evidence and their statements, according to the results of intermediary investigation conducted by a competent organ of the DPRK," North Korea's KCNA news agency said.
