Emotional Homecoming Greets Reporters Freed!

Is Bing Good for Bing?
I'll be honest with you. I have mixed feelings now about this whole Bing thing. David Pogue in The New York Times gives Bing The Search Engine a nice little writeup in the paper today, saying that "in many ways, Bing is better."

Laura Ling was born in Carmichael, California, United States on December 1, 1976. Laura Ling is a Chinese-American journalist working as Current TV’s managing editor of Vanguard.

Laura Ling has been detained by North Korea along with her fellow journalist ‘Euna Lee’ after an allegedly attempt of filming refugees besides the border of China and North Korea since March 18, 2009. In March 2009, North Korea has also announced about these two journalists ‘Laura Ling and Euna Lee’ for trying to enter illegally from China into the North Korea, which leaded them to labor prison for 12 years on June 8, 2009.

On the other hand, the Government of United States is trying to oppose this sentence with a lot of diplomatic efforts.

Emotional homecoming greets reporters freed from North Korea
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, returning to an emotional welcome after being freed from custody in communist North Korea, said on Wednesday it was the love of family and "total strangers" that kept them going through their ordeal.

After the aircraft that brought them home parked inside a vast hangar at Burbank Airport, a beaming Ling, 32, raised her arms in triumph as she descended the steps and Lee, 36, crouched down to swoop up her 4-year-old daughter, Hana, who she had not seen for five months.
Accompanied by former President Bill Clinton, who secured their release, the reporters for a cable television venture co-founded by Clinton's former vice president, Al Gore, arrived at dawn at the suburban Los Angeles airport.

"To our loved ones, friends, and to the complete strangers with the kindest of hearts who showed us so much love and sent us so many positive thoughts and energy, we thank you," Ling said as she fought back tears of relief to be home.

"We could feel your love all the way in North Korea. It is what kept us going in the darkest of hours. It is what sustained our faith that we would come home," she said as relatives, friends and reporters gathered round.

She thanked Clinton and his "super-cool team" who went to Pyongyang to secure their release as they faced the possibility of serving a sentence of 12 years hard labor after being detained on a reporting trip to the China-North Korea border.

"The past 140 days have been the most difficult heart-wrenching time of lives," Ling said. "We are very grateful we were granted amnesty by the government of North Korea and we are happy to be home and we are just so anxious now to spend some quiet time getting reacquainted with our families."

Though it was Clinton who secured the women's release in a meeting with North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong-il, the former president uncharacteristically avoided the spotlight.

He remained on the plane, a Boeing business jet owned by his friend, the Hollywood producer Steve Bing, for several minutes after the women first emerged and did not address reporters and camera crews assembled in the hanger.

His silence may reflect the delicate political situation surrounding his mission, which has been portrayed by Washington as private and not linked to tense efforts to revive talks on halting reclusive North Korea's nuclear program.....
