North Korea

Two American journalists were missing Friday. They were reportedly detained by North Korea for ignoring warnings to stop shooting footage of the reclusive country. Laura Ling and Euna Lee are reporters for former Vice President Al Gore's online media outlet Current TV. They were seized Tuesday along the Chinese-North Korean border.

Although a third journalist with the group, Mitch Koss, apparently eluded capture, however their Chinese guide also was detained. United States officials expressed concern to North Korean officials about the reported detentions and said they were working with the Chinese government to ascertain the whereabouts of the Americans. I hope they are able to find and rescue them.
