He has some explaining to do
Meet Mitch Koss..the cameraman who accompanied Euna and Laura on their China/North Korean expedition. He has conspicuously remained silent on the kidnapping of the two girls. Mitchell Koss, 56, a television producer, and Kim Seong-chol, a Chinese-Korean category_ide, both escaped and were reportedly detained by Chinese police.
Now, rumors are getting louder and louder that Euna and Laura were set up, as the Times of London is now reporting North Korea had been hunting for a "foreign prize" for some time.
“There is a strong suspicion that he [the category_ide] was heavily involved and it was a trap,” said an experienced activist who has led dozens of refugees to safety. There has been no word of Kim.
Such suspicions are bolstered by a first-hand account given to The Sunday Times by an American missionary who was warned by Chinese police a month earlier that the North Koreans were trying to capture a foreign journalist. In February a detachment of plainclothes Chinese officers detained the missionary as he took photographs not far from a tourist spot at a bridge across the river at the city of Tumen.
He was held for interrogation for several hours and later released without charge. During his questioning the officers warned him that the North Koreans were known to be hunting for a “foreign prize” along the twisting, narrow course of the river, where the border is erratic as it meanders along sandbanks and shallows. “They were after a journalist,” said the missionary.
The timing could not be more perfect, so this story definitely sounds plausible. When will we hear from Mitch Koss? Where is he? Perhaps he can offer some insight?

They sure acted like little girls..little babies!
Why don’t we wait until they get their $1million book deal and the facts come out. You and this mag can quote all the press articles you want but we won’t know until they all speak or like Lisa Ling said, her sister wants to tell the compelling story. We get it! You’re holding out for your big payday, while Lisa Ling complaind her sister couldn’t eat fruit and a sushi all the while millions of North Korean citizens (which includes children) starve to death by the hands of Kim-JongIl. And genius Clinton thinks it’s a good idea to pose with this terrorist (and lord knows what else) in return for these brainiacs. What a message to the world!
Just type in North Korean refugees on youtube and you can see what this man is doing to these innocent people. Highly disturbing. I would not pay one penny for anything Euna, Laura, Lisa, Mitch, Clinton and anyone else has to do with this situation. ONLY IN AMERICA PEOPLE!
If McCain was President, they would have rotted in North Korea where they should be. Idiots!
Frist–they’re not girls.
Second–Current TV isn’t letting anyone talk.
Certainly, the idea that 56-year-old Koss is remaining silent in hopes of maintaining good stature with Current is plausible, though some have speculated his chances of ongoing employment there alongside Ling are slim at best.
The earliest reports of the incident (CNN-AP) said Ling-Lee were seen running back towards the Chinese side, and were disguised as Koreans. A few days later, the best intelligence account stated the guard at first thought the intruders were Korean nationals.
Finally, a Daily Mail piece over the weekend (by a reputable pair of journalists) sourced someone who said Euna was holding camera, not Mitch Koss. Still to be confirmed, that.
All this to say that Koss does not appear to have been close by in the early morning hours, which would further support the notion he was not on board with the idea.
oh and you are just so sure of that aren’t you? True they may not be releasing information on what happened yet, perhaps because they (including Koss) are waiting for their $1Million book deal..Only in American, can two moron journalists, who cause this international uproar, make us look like fools by having a former US President pose with a terrorist, come home and make $$.., but there is no doubt, Koss has the pieces of the puzzle that can put this thing together and indicate whether they were just plain dumb or dumber. He would have the first hand account, not any of these UK publications. Why don’t we hear about the hostages in Iran, or the soldier held hostage by the Taliban?
