Had they not been caught and gotten the story we would have been nominating them for some journalism award. Many other reporters in similar situations never lived to tell their side of the story. Laura and Euna's silence could very well be that they experienced trauma that none of us yet know or will ever know. Telling their story is their right not our entitlement. <br><br>As for others who may have been exposed...If Laura and Euna were able to follow the trail to their identity then why not also the Chinese and Korean governments? We don't know if they were reckless. We only know that they were captured. The accusations are disappointing even if inevitable. They are reporters. Reporters break rules. If they don't the general population might never learn of so many truths.
