    Bill Clinton: Knight or Pawn?

    By Ice9  |  Posted August 5, 2009  |  Atlanta, Georgia
     

    So, we all know that the former President flew back with the two journalists... however, details of what transpired are very different depending on the source: the White House, North Korea, or the Clintons.

     

    The question is: was Mr. Clinton an active participant in the liberation of Lee and Ling (the knight in shinning armor)? or was he a mere pawn in the latest chess move between the US and North Korea?

     

    In the end, was this a good move for the US or was it a setback for relations between the US and North Korea and US and its allies in the area?  Read for yourselves and make your own judgement:
