Two American journalists are still being held by North Korea.
Laura Ling and Euna Lee work for Al Gore’s California-based Current TV media group.
Laura Ling and Euna Lee, you are not forgotten.
North Korean labor camps are notorious: the horrific conditions rival that of the Third Reich, or the torture factories of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. Possibly hundreds of thousands of North Koreans face starvation, filth, disease, hard labor, exposure to the elements, daily "re-education" torture sessions, summary executions and anonymous graves.
North Korea may spare the US journalists from hard labor, but the two women still face awful conditions. Even if they have not yet been sent to a labor camp, they are no doubt being subjected to early morning wake up calls, daily interrogation / "re-education" sessions (that go on for unbelievable lengths of time, well into the night), minimal food of poor nutritional value, and every facet of their daily lives controlled. The worst could possibly be the stress and anxiety accompanying the fear of the unknown.

Actually, Laura Ling and Euna Lee are being held by all accounts in a Pyongyang guest house that is used for VIPs. So relatively speaking, they have it pretty good.

And have you heard the human rights groups up in arms protesting about the North Korean camps? Of course not, they are too busy vilifying Israel for much more minor infractions.
That's because the NorKs have not brutalised any genuinely righteous group, such as the Palestinians.
cheers
