Jesse & Company to Pyongyang
Asked whether outreach to North Korea by former Vice President Al Gore would be beneficial, Jackson says:
“It could, if he has the moral appeal to them and they can trust him, whether it's former Vice President Al Gore, or Governor Bill Richardson or President Jimmy Carter. Those who made some way in reaching out could very well be a trusted broker between the two governments.
But make the moral appeal. These two young women have done nothing to earn being in prison for 12 years.
They are at this point a pawn in the bigger political game. The case I would make if I were to go to North Korea, to the leadership, is that: ‘to hold these young women as hostages are trophies, does not get what you need. You need to have your security increased. That is to say, the relief of such abounding poverty in your zone, and to have less military threats headed toward you.' …That's why I think any bellicose or rhetoric or threats does not serve our country well, nor does it serve our quest to secure their freedom.”
Hat Tip: The Page
I have a deal for Kim Jong-il, I will trade you Jesse Jackson, Prince Albert Gore, James Earl Carter and Bill Richardson for the two female journalists.
Just imagine what "progress" they could make in helping the Great Leader to continue constructing that magnificent society in North Korea!!!
