Bill Clinton the Hero

Bill Clinton did some quick negotiations, traveled to North Korea, and has aided in the release of 2 US journalists. The key to this negotiation was to ask for a pardon, instead of throwing out the verdict. By showing "respect" to the N. Korean legal system, the DPRK was placated enough to allow the release.

In the end, who cares if they admitted guilt, it is better than 12 years of hard labor in North Korea.
