I don't know that you can really tie the fate of these two women to the larger issue of North Korean disarmament, though.

North Korea wants, above all else, attention that it seems to think will validate it as a nation. Not that there are any easy answers, since you do have to negotiate with these thugs, but this is more about Clinton's ego than it is about viable, long-term answers for peace on the peninsula. So I'd be happy if he proves me wrong, but this seems like a really bad move. A Jesse Jackson-esque move, if you will. IMO this is stupid.
