People.com is reporting that Former President Bill Clinton is en route to Los Angeles with Lisa Ling’s sister Laura Ling and their reporter friend Euna Lee after talks with North Korea’s Leader Kim Jong II resulted in their pardon and release.

Laura Ling and Euna Lee were initially detained March 17 after trespassing from China and sentenced in June to 12 years of hard labor for “committing hostilities against the Korean nation and illegal entry.”

The talks with North Korea are said to have been ‘exhaustive’.

This is absolutely the best news to hear!  The stress these women have endured not to mention that of their family and friends must have been beyond tremendous.  I can not even fathom it.  God bless Bill Clinton and all those involved in making this mission successful!
