Bill Clinton in North Korea

US journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been pardoned from all charges by North Korea after a visit from Bill Clinton!


According to ABC News, the former president made a special trip to North Korea on Tuesday to negotiate the release of the two women.


After what was deemed "exhaustive" talks between Bill and country's leader Kim Jong Il, the two were officially pardoned Tuesday.


In June, Laura and Euna were sentenced to 12 years in labor prison by North Korea's Central Court for "committing hostilities against the Korean nation and illegal entry."


Ling and Lee may be leaving as early as tonight on the same plane as Clinton.


Way to go, Bill Clinton!
