North Korea said its top court convicted two U.S. journalists and sentenced them to 12 years in labour prison Monday, intensifying the reclusive nation's confrontation with the United States.Yeah... who could have possibly seen that coming, huh?
Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee — who were working for former U.S. vice-president Al Gore's California-based Current TV — cannot appeal because they were tried in North Korea's highest court, where decisions are final.
