Hey Ted, the real story of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, from the LATimes:

latimes.com

It seems they were only on North Korean soil for a minute, but they were arrested on Chinese soil. Here's the oddest part of the story:

> We didn't spend more than a minute on North Korean soil before turning back, but it is a minute we deeply regret. To this day, we still don't know if we were lured into a trap. In retrospect, the guide behaved oddly, changing our starting point on the river at the last moment and donning a Chinese police overcoat for the crossing, measures we assumed were security precautions. But it was ultimately our decision to follow him, and we continue to pay for that decision today with dark memories of our captivity.
