"Less is known about Current TV journalists Laura Ling (pictured) and Euna Lee, who were detained in North Korea on March 17, and will face trial for their unspecified "hostile acts." A conviction could carry a sentence of up to 10 years.
A Current spokesperson tells TVNewser: "We do not have a comment."
Incidentally, from what I understand coming from an insider at current.com: The reason they have no comment is the common thought is because the more media coverage this gets, the more North Korea can use this as a bargaining chip for negotiations for the US Government. That's the off-the-record on-the-record comment, anyway.

news like this makes me think that "off-the-record" comment may have a lot of truth to it.
