The adventures of Euna Lee and Laura Ling, the two CurrentTV journalists jailed in North Korea earlier this year already seems like another lifetime thanks to the current state of the news cycle. However, looks like readers will get an inside look into the experiences of the two women courtesy of Lee who has just signed a six-figure book deal with Broadway Books.

Media blitz tours are apparently all the rage for former Presidents. Or at least former Democratic Presidents. Maureen Dowd would no doubt point to Bill Clinton’s cable rounds last night, particularly his Daily Show spot, as some sort of competitive decision on his part to share in President Obama’s magical tour spotlight. That said the timing does seem a little strange. And it’s too bad, because Clinton had some interesting things to say.

Let’s not kid ourselves. For all the fuss that was made about former President Bill Clinton‘s trip to North Korea being a private one, whose sole intention was to rescue journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, it has certainly provided the U.S. government with a lot of information that, up until now, was nearly impossible to come by.

The New York Times has done some digging regarding Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s debacle in the Congo earlier this week and smells a rat. They say the “mis-quoted” student who asked Hillary for her husband’s opinion wasn’t actually mis-quoted. But does that mean her reaction was justified?

Now that Current TV journos Laura Ling and Euna Lee are back safe and sound courtesy of President Clinton, details about their trip are beginning to emerge. Speaking to CNN yesterday Laura’s sister Lisa Ling, former co-host of The View and frequent Oprah guest, revealed that the pair had indeed crossed into North Korea. Still there remains more questions than answers.

We know former Pres. Bill Clinton went to North Korea to help secure the return of Laura Ling and Euna Lee.

But the next question becomes: what did the U.S. give up, and did Clinton talk about nuclear weapons as well? During today’s White House briefing, press secretary Robert Gibbs addressed these questions, and indicated Clinton may have talked nukes.

This is the picture that is currently running on the homepage of the New York Times. I think it’s safe to say, considering the U.S.’s relationship with North Korea, Barack Obama’s relationship with Hillary Clinton, Hillary’s relationship with her husband, and Bill Clinton’s relationship with just about everyone (oh yes, and Al Gore!) that this picture is worth about 10,000 words.
