North Korea 'holds US reporters'
North Korean soldiers have detained two female US journalists on the China-North Korea border, media reports say.
The journalists had apparently ignored warnings to stop filming in the area.

The US has expressed "concern" over the fate of the two women. Pyongyang has yet to comment on the incident, and China says it is investigating.
The reports come amid heightened tensions between North Korea and the US over the North's plans to launch a satellite into space.
The North says the launch is part of its communications programme, but the US fears this is a cover for testing long-range missile technology.
Crossing point
According to the Associated Press news agency, Laura Ling, a Chinese-American, and Euna Lee, a Korean-American - both of whom work for the California-based online media outlet Current TV - were arrested late on Tuesday.
Their Chinese guide, an ethnic Korean, was also detained, the agency says.
Chun Ki-won, a Christian clergyman in Seoul who helped arrange the journalists' trip, told reporters they went to the area to report on North Korean refugees in north-eastern China.
There is still some confusion as to exactly where the reporters were arrested. More here:

Yes, liberals are always confused and bewildered when they disregard warnings/rules and are made to pay the price. It's as if they canna comprehend the word "warning ." Maybe they thought they were dealing with the United States police. My guess is they're getting the education they so sorely missed in the US.

This reminds me of an old joke.
What do 90% of battered wives have in common?
(Said while pounding your fist into the palm of your other hand) They just don't fucking listen.
They remain uncooked?
