if it wasn't for Bill Clinton, his sister in law might still be doing hard time in North Korea
On January 3, 2007, Ling announced her engagement to radiation oncologist Paul Song.[20] They married on May 26, 2007, in Los Angeles, California. The wedding party included guests such as Connie Chung, one of Lisa's personal heroes, and actresses Kelly Hu and Diane Farr.[21] On June 7, 2009, she was awarded an honorary doctorate from National University, after giving the commencement speech there.[22] In October 2012 Ling announced on Anderson Cooper's talk show that she and her husband were expecting their first child, a baby girl. She gave birth to a daughter named Jett Ling Song on March 8, 2013.[23][24] The family resides in Santa Monica, California.[25][26]
Her younger sister, Laura Ling, also a journalist, was managing editor of Vanguard at Current TV and currently a host and reporter on E! Network. In March 2009 Laura and her colleague Euna Lee were detained by North Korea for illegal entry into the country. They had been attempting to film refugees along the border with China.[27] In June, they were sentenced to 12 years in a labor prison for illegal entry into North Korea, and unspecified hostile acts.[28]
North Korea released Laura and Euna on August 4, 2009 after a visit from former U.S. President Bill Clinton.[29] Laura and Lisa went on to collaborate on the first book either has had published, Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home, published in May 2010.[30]

I also heard that Paul Song was involved in Kamala Harris' campaign here in CA--hope she gets rid of that baggage soon.

(24,135 posts)WASHINGTON Former President Bill Clinton left North Korea on Wednesday morning after a dramatic 20-hour visit, in which he won the freedom of two American journalists, opened a diplomatic channel to North Koreas reclusive government and dined with the Norths ailing leader, Kim Jong-il.
Mr. Clinton departed from Pyongyang, the capital, around 8:30 a.m. local time, along with the journalists, Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36, on a private jet bound for Los Angeles, according to a statement from the former presidents office.
The North Korean government, which in June sentenced the women to 12 years of hard labor for illegally entering North Korean territory, announced hours earlier that it had pardoned the women after Mr. Clinton apologized to Mr. Kim for their actions, according to the North Korean state media.
President Obama contacted the families of the women on Tuesday evening, according to administration officials, but the White House said it would withhold public comment until the former president landed on American soil.
Mr. Clintons mission to Pyongyang was the most visible by an American in nearly a decade. It came at a time when the United States relationship with North Korea had become especially chilled, after North Koreas test of its second nuclear device in May and a series of missile launchings.
It ended a harrowing ordeal for the two women, who were stopped on March 17 by soldiers near North Koreas border with China while researching a report about women and human trafficking. They faced years of imprisonment in the gulaglike confines of a North Korean prison camp.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/05/world/asia/05korea.html?_r=0
