To the Dear Leader:

This is my first letter I am writing to you.  Please forgive me for presuming I could even begin to write a letter to you but I do hope you will find this letter interesting.

You may have already realized this but the recent story of Choson, North Korea, bears a striking resemblance to the story of Babylonia in the Book of Daniel in the Bible.  I am sure you are well aware of the Bible, your grandmother was a Christian and your father received a Bible from Billy Graham.  This Bible might even be in the museum dedicated to your father along with the many other gifts he has received from world luminaries.

One story in the Book of Daniel is about how Daniel was falsely accused by high ranking officials of Babylonia.  King Darius was forced to sentence Daniel to death by being thrown into the lion pit but an angel of God saved him.  The next day King Darius was overjoyed to see Daniel safe and had him taken out of the lion pit and the accusing officials thrown in instead.

Today Euna Lee and Laura Ling stand falsely accused by your government.  They are not spies, they are journalists.  They had no intention to harm North Korea in any way, in fact they wanted to help your beautiful country.

Officials in your government are trying to profit from this false accusation.  They coerced a false confession from Euna Lee and Laua Ling.  The North Korean courts have sentenced them to twelve years hard labor.

I ask on behalf of all who care about justice to free Euna Lee and Laura Ling just as King Darius freed the falsely accused Daniel in the Book of Daniel.

Your life is about your legacy.  Consider how great your legacy will be when you come to aid these two.  You will be praised throughout the world.

Sincerely,

Frank Kim

I just saw the moving interview of Laura Ling and Euna Lee’s families on the Today show. It was especially moving seeing Euna Lee’s beautiful four year old daughter who has not seen her mother for three months. Euna’s husband said her daughter knows nothing of Euna Lee’s imprisonment and just thinks Euna is still at work.

The families of two American journalists held captive in North Korea expressed fears for their safety today while pleading for their release.

“We’re terrified,” Lisa Ling, the sister of one of the journalists, said in an exclusive interview on TODAY. “We don’t know what to expect.”

Loved ones ‘terrified’ for captured journalists – TODAY People.

After watching the interview on TV I found it here on the Today show website. I wish I had looked there first, it would have saved me an hour of waiting and watching so many commercials.

The repressive regime of North Korea never seizes to amaze in their quest to be the most evil country in the world.   On March 19 it was reported that North Korea detained two U.S. reporters.

Two American journalists on a reporting trip to the border between China and North Korea have been detained by the North Korean military, a human rights activist and another source said Thursday.

Laura Ling, a Chinese-American, and Euna Lee, a Korean-American, were believed to have been detained by North Korean border guards on Tuesday morning …

The journalists went to China last week to report on North Korean refugees in northeastern China …

On April 23 it was reported that North Korea had decided to indict the two reporters.

North Korea said Friday that it had decided to indict two American journalists who have been detained for more than five weeks on charges of illegally entering the country and committing “hostile acts.”

It is sad how these journalists are going to be used by the North Korean government as leverage in negotiations with the U.S. government.

North Korean prisons are some of the cruelest in the world.  Pray for protection for these two journalists and their quick release.
