[quote]North Korean state media said Saturday that Merrill Newman, a war veteran, was released because he had apologized for his alleged crimes during the Korean War and because of his age and medical condition.[/quote]
They detained an 85 year old man so that they could record him saying he was a war criminal.
Please Obama, a few drones, please!

[quote]'I have been guilty of a long list of indelible crimes against DPRK government and Korean people,' Newman purportedly wrote,[/quote] "...and upon returning home after his confession, gave his veteran buddies a fist bump, said 'fuck yeah I killed me some gooks', and went back to playing some shuffleboard." On one hand, it's disgusting they forced an apology from an old man; on the other, it's hilarious that they accuse him of being a war criminal that murdered civilians and all they want is an apology before setting him free. GG North Korea. Much victory. Such win. Wow.
