    In reply to Released Journalist Pens Memoir
    It will probably be very interesting, and I understand that as a journalist it is only natural that she'd want to write a book on her experience, but it does make me sad that no longer in this country can anyone go through an ordeal without putting a book out after.

    @Zombie MissSkittles: I never used to be much of a fan of non fiction either until I started buying heavily discounted hardbacks from book warehouses. At least this woman will not require a ghostwriter for her memoirs.

    Unjust: yes. Their punishment does not fit their crimes (though we are not yet sure what these crimes are) but make no mistake about it, these are smart, brave, risk-taking journalists. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing as they crossed into North Korea, and they knew the risks involved. They gambled. There was no unintentional "wandering" across the border. That just paints them as ignorant, which they are not.

    @thebestofjillhives: That's a good point. They are smart professionals - how could they just "wander" over? Also, that's a pretty well-defended border - not like wandering over the US/Canadian border in the prairies or something. But I don't want to make assumptions either way. Even if they did deliberately cross over, it doesn't make their punishment any less horrible. I'm a reporter with ambtions of doing international stuff someday, and this scares the crap out of me.

    NPR has been following her story for weeks, as has the Guardian, and a lot of other foreign newspapers. So she's pretty? BTW her mother is Japanese and her father is Iranian. And according to her experience, she has gone through the same type of mental manipulation (can we not call it "torture")but managed to keep her wits about her and get out and tell about it. LET'S STOP THE BULLSHIT ABOUT THE PRETTY AND THE WHATEVER AND GET BRAVE FOREIGN JOURNALISTS OUT OF JAIL NOW!!!


    Excuse me. Having¡ one of those first amendment days.

    If she weren't pretty, she and her imprisonment would have gotten zero interest from the media.

    @ihateyourescalade: I had no idea what she looked like until yesterday, and I had been hearing about her on NPR for a few weeks prior. As Shana said, it probably has something to do with the fact that she worked with BBC/NPR and others.


    I seem to recall hearing a lot about that British teacher being held for having kids make "offensive" dolls and I don't recall her being attractive.

    I'm excited for Roxana, but there's still American reporters like Laura Ling and Euna Lee who need help.

    As far as I've read, North Korea is denying them access to western officials. Will they be forgotten now that NK has become so aggressive?

    n the Press TV account of Saberi and Clinton's meeting, the state-run news agency noted that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also wrote a letter to judiciary officials asking for a fair trial.


    That's nice and all, but she shouldn't have been on trial in the first place.

    On that logic, I should have thanked the bully in 3rd grade when he stopped pinching me, as opposed to glaring at him and crying.
