Thanks Bill Clinton! I can imagine how happy the family and kids will be when they get back home. Can't wait to hear the interviews about what they experienced in North Korea. Scary place.

I too was very happy to hear this yesterday. Those women did nothing wrong and what happened to them was needless. At least they are home this morning.

I'm so glad they're home!

That IS great news! The sister of one of them lives in Sacramento. I thought it was sad, several weeks ago, when she spoke to the press and said everyone had pretty much forgotten about her sister. Must have been a terrible thing for her to watch society turn its back on her sister as the story became "old" news.

Bill Clinton does one heck of a job, even when he's not President anymore. I had the utmost respect for him during his two terms and what he did for the two journalists shows just how much respect and admiration that people have for him.

Agreed. I'm worried about them too. These are the kinds of things I'll lay in bed at night and worry about. And I'm sorry to say, just my opinion, they may be in worse hands.

Agreed! It's not every day one can get a meeting with Kim Jong! Gore and Obama did a great job as well.

I watched this morning and it was so happy/sad when they saw their families and that speech.

Will be very intersting to see how they were treated and what they went through while there.

Also, to get the complete story of everything in the order it happened. The arrangements were going on 'behind the scenes' for months, according to the news.
