I have no issue with using Bill for this sort of thing and I am thrilled we got these girls out, however, it seems to me that we played right into Kim's hands. It is what he wanted all along and effectively let him use these two girls as hostages in order to gain high level US engagement with them on their turf. The speed with which these two were released is just evidence of it to me. For a country that supposedly doesn't pay ransom for hostage release it sure seems to me we paid this time. Money isn't the only currency in the world.
