It is unfortunate the timing of all this, but I do not see it happening. It is political. To be honest, they are lucky they were not shot dead. That has happened to individuals that trailed off into the forbidden territory. I pray that they will receive pardons and are released, but NK is trying to posture themselves and make a statement. The girls are bargaining chips at this point and I think it will be a long time before we can even entertain their freedom. I hope I am wrong, but I just did not have a good feeling about it when I read the news report. God bless them and their families!
They knew the dangers of going there, hope they will be released but I doubt it!
