I will confess to wanting very badly to visit the NK border from the Chinese side and to also visit NK on an organized tour. But I'd not even think of doing something like Al Gore's "journalists" did last year. I have very little sympathy for people who wind up in trouble like these folks have. I'm sure their families are upset, but it should not be the job of the US gov't. to rescue people from their stupid decisions and that goes for a lot of other areas in American life.
