Bill Clinton's Diplomacy

There are many things about Bill Clinton's shtick I disagree with -- but nobody can deny the man his abilities to walk into an international storm and barter for people's lives - and walk away successful.

Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36, reporters for an American cable television venture arrived at Burbank airport near Los Angles aboard a private jet with former President Bill Clinton, who secured their release after meeting over dinner with North Korea's reclusive and ailing leader, Kim Jong-il.

This was amazing and wonderful.
