Just because they are reporters and from the US shouldn't give them carte blanche to do whatever they want whenever they want. You go into a dangerous situation like that then you better be prepared to be a martyr.
3. I doubt NK is dumb enough to think that these 2 women (nobodies) are actually bargaining chips. At least not for anything worthwhile. The US is not going to, nor should they, do much in the way of getting them returned if NK tries too.
Sucks but I don't see anything happening and they aren't the only Americans stuck in shithole prisons around the world.
