Welcome Back Laura and Euna

current community -- you guys rock. these were some great welcome home messages and you really made it happen.

Vsiskos and afitzgerald -- you guys really pulled this together. thanks.

You combined them all, I know that must have taken hours...

Awww, that was a great pace. Loved how "Silent Movie" was woven in and out. And thanks! :blush:

<3

LOVE! HAPPINESS! THANKFULNESS!

WELCOME HOME!

WELCOME BACK HOME :]

Tell us what they did to you..
If your allow too.

It's great to have these two women home. God bless them and their families. What a horrible ordeal.

Let this serve as a wake up call to Current TV and their immature style of investigative reporting. Most all of their vangaurd journalists, with the exception of maybe Baschuk, focus way too much of their stories on themselves and the story always seems to get lost. An example of this was Kaj's partying with "real pirates" piece in the Malacca straight. Very immature, dangerous, and for whatever reason focused on him trying to "hang" with "real pirates." Totally missed the boat on the "real situation" down there.

Current needs more qualified journalists in these hot spots or Bill is going to be making a lot of trips for Al.

Welcome home!!!!
Thank you for showing us the real deal, the reality outside our sheltered worlds. The kind of job you guys do is priceless, there are no words to express how thankful we are for people like you <3

Welcome home! This all reassures and reminds me that selflessness is not as uncommon as we may believe. Thank god, allah, whoever that you both are home again! This ordeal made me remember why honest media is so very very important. While I cannot imagine the fear and anguish that you suffered, I do know that the media was missing an enlightening and courageous pair of journalists.

I was going to comment on someone post about the risks associated with journalism and how some people shouldn't be so quick to judge others, but why feed the naysayers and trolls?

This is a time for celebration. Welcome home Laura and Euna.

Welcome back Laura and Euna.

RE: Laura Ling and Euna Lee (Happy they're home.)

I'm glad the journalists have been safely returned.
Sorry, if this comes across harshly, but I really hope they will show a little respect and obey the laws of land next time. Sneaking over the border was costly, not only to them, but, as we have seen, for the little girl and all other family members involved. I think, at times that we Americans get a little arrogant and believe that laws don't apply to us. We unfairly rebuked North Korea, because the women, at first, said they had not broken the law. This serves as a lesson for all of us.

Welcome Back Laura and Euna

Thanks for all you're doing!!!

Welcome Back Euna & Laura!

As happy as I am that they are home safe, I am totally blown away by the amazing sincerity of my fellow Current viewers and staff. This terrible situation has already revealed a silver lining, a deeper, more real understanding of the importance of a committed network of active citizens dedicated to the well being of each other. Willing to take the actions necessary to transform negative to positive, with an unwavering resolve to foster peace. Current started as a new type of television network, now I see a huge family and it's beautiful. There's an old Buddhist phrase about unity: If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people they will achieve all their goals.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!

Welcome home.

SO happy they made it home!!!! Thank you guys for reporting REAL news and doing what REAL journalists are supposed to do - get the story and report truthfully and honestly to the masses!! It is journalists like you guys, that inspire young people to be interested in journalism, so thankyou!

seriously, welcome home. you represent journalism in this new age. I can count on my hand who I trust. Your two of them.

If you two are educated journalists, And your boss is the "SELF PROCLAIMED" inventor of the internet. Why didn't you take 10 seconds and Google US state dept. travel to N.Korea ? You would have found that two visas are required to enter, ( China & N. Korea ) and two to exit ? It also clearly advises that you may be DETAINED, ARRESTED or EXPELLED!

Poor judgement and lack of common sense on your parts! Your passports should be revoked, journalists credentials revoked ! and in noway allowed to profit from your crimes ! You are not heroines but criminals who broke the laws of a soveriegn nation.

Whats next..........A cruise off the Somalian coast or a peaceful hike thru Iran?

Welcome home!!!! I wanted to leave a personal message, but I found my webcam is missing! (tears) I searched for about 3 hours and confirmed it's no longer in my electronic equipment, and that was upsetting! A few people have access to the room I have my boxes of electronics in. Frustrating.

Because I wanted to tell you so much WELCOME HOME! Many prayers were answered and I hope life is ok now. I hope you feel safe again soon.

much love,
arcticspirit

Welcome back Laura and Euna.

Welcome back Laura and Euna! It really sucks that you guys had to be used for political gain.

Thanks for weakening our nuclear negotiating position for your faux journalistic ambitions.

I think it's truly awesome that us Current viewers are so tightly bound by both a love for quality journalism AND deep compassion.

Who says we cant change the world? With love from Canada, Welcome Home Euna and Laura/Bienvenue de Retour Euna et Laura!

Welcome home a thousand times!!

You are both a true inspiration for your bravery, quest to share world knowledge and heart-felt love for humanity. If no one reports these otrocities and cruelty, how would we know and want to do something to change it?

I don't have to say anything about Current being more careful on future stories around the world, I know that they will. I hate that you had to be made an example of and criticized so harshly from these unemotional nay-sayers who have NO IDEA what the situation was or how truly careful you were being...

lifestudentno83 is right, THIS IS A TIME TO CELEBRATE!

I'm all for celebration for these two brave souls!... And betruelarue your right! No one has an idea of the situation involved on being careful.
But I can guess this much from what I hear on the news. That only Bill Clinton could pull this off because of his past performance as President with North Korea on DOING NOTHING but making himself look good.
This was a good way to shut up Hillary and Obama from nagging the rest of the world, (what Korean people consider minority lower class people to them), and help putting it to rest on what's going on with their Nuclear practices.

Laura and Euna, the courage and talent it takes to investigate and report the stories the world needs to know makes you heroes to begin with. Welcome home and God Bless!

To Mr. Al Gore, as a card-carrying Republican, you are one of the few Democrats who has always had my respect for your humanitarian and compassionate deeds. Unlike many politicians in your position who go for the glory and put their names on projects, you have always rolled up your sleeves in all the good work you have done. Your behind-the-scenes role in bringing Laura and Euna home only amplifies your truly good heart. You are a true rockstar - you are a true hero - you are the epitome of a humanitarian.
