You have got to read the details. Gomes purposefully went into North Korea illegaly. He knowingly committed a criminal act knowing what the consequences would be. Apples to Oranges. Which is not to say NK isnt being harsh. But the hikers in Iran were doing nothing more than being negligent. We have a far better case for getting them released. You might remember I likewise defended NK on the two journalists who did the same thing last year.
