>> From the sound of it, though, it seems like Laura and Euna were treated relatively well, despite being worried 24/7 about being sent to a labor camp.

Of course. The point of capturing was for no other purpose than to make the current administration look weak and foolish. While I would have done just what Obama did, NK did accomplish that objective.

Clinton had to show up over there, have the big group photo on Kim's astroturf, shake hands and carry on with him -- essentially "bowing down" to the Dear Leader.

Overall, it seems fairly harmless, but that is discounting Bolton's view, and he probably understands these nuances better than anyone in the US. Might other countries be further motivated to grab US citizens? Of course.

A tougher, stronger president than Obama might have stayed out of it. One gets the sense that Bill Clinton would have preferred to be out of it.
