"N. Korea says it will free US missionary; Ariz. man held since Christmas" by Kwang-Tae Kim, Associated Press | February 5, 2010
SEOUL - North Korea announced today that it will free an American missionary detained on Christmas Day for illegally crossing the border from China.
Christmas Day, bomber, Christmas Day, bomber, Christmas Day, bomber.
Christmas has been ruined!
Robert Park, of Tucson, slipped across the frozen Tumen River into the North carrying letters calling on North Korean leader Kim Jong Il to close the country’s notoriously brutal prison camps and to step down from power, rights activists in Seoul said.
North Korean media reported in a brief dispatch Dec. 29 that authorities had detained an American suspected of illegal entry, but said nothing more about it until today, leaving his fate in question for weeks.
You know, ever since the Yettaw incident, I see them all as CIA.
The 28-year-old missionary’s detainment came nearly four months after two other Americans, journalists Euna Park and Laura Ling, were released with Bill Clinton’s help after they were arrested at the border and sentenced to prison.

Late last month, North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency reported the arrest of another American suspected of illegal entry. He has not been identified.
CIA again.
State media in Pyongyang said that North Korea “decided to leniently forgive and release’’ Park after “taking his admission and sincere repentance of his wrongdoings into consideration.’’
Do crazy dictators forgive or are we being lied to again, America?
No further details about Park’s release were available....
The State Department in Washington said it had no comment.
That wouldn't matter anyway:
"CIA officers serving overseas often use the State Department as their official “cover’’ to avoid revealing the true nature of their work"
See? It's just another BRANCH OFFICE of the CIA!
News of Park’s pending release comes amid a push by Pyongyang to reach out to Washington and Seoul after more than a year of tensions.
Yeah, but you can't talk to a Korean.
--more--"
Yeah, the war-promoting paper wouldn't want to be alerting you to peace breaking out anywhere, God forbid.
