WASHINGTON, May 21 (Yonhap) -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said Thursday that the two American journalists detained in North Korea may be released soon after their trial in early June, and he praised the Barack Obama administration for handling the issue quietly.
"I believe so far the Obama people have handled it well. They've been restrained, quiet diplomacy, keeping the issues separate," Richardson said in an interview with MSNBC. "So I think there's a little back and forth right now, that, maybe after June 4th, we can get a breakthrough and get the two women out."
| Then again, he may be talking out of his hind end. But if we can get the journalists out without giving up anything that would be fine. |
