Title: Former President Jimmy Carter Secures Release Of Imprisioned Christian In North Korea

Earlier this year Robert Park made worldwide headlines when he was released from a North Korean prison. Operating on faith, Park crossed over from South Korea to North Korea in a effort to bring greater attention to the North’s oppressive human rights record.

When Park was released he battled suicidal tendencies and has been hospitalized multiple times for his afflictions. A large part of his worry concerned his friend Aijalon Mahli Gomes, who entered North Korea shortly after Park’s release. In April, the North Korean government sentenced the Boston native to eight years in a hard labor camp and fined him $700,000.

Now, Park is breathing a sigh of relief for answered prayers. Former President Jimmy Carter travelled to South Korea and won the release of Gomes. "I was planning to kill myself with a suicide note to bring attention to Aijalon—I feel responsible for him being there," Park said. "He is one of my best friends, and I prayed for my life to be taken and not his."


AP REPORT:

A spokeswoman says North Korea has granted amnesty for a Boston man jailed in the communist country since January after former President Jimmy Carter worked to negotiate his freedom.

Carter Center spokeswoman Deanna Congileo said late Thursday that the former president will return to the U.S. with Aijalon Gomes. She says Gomes should be in Boston by Friday afternoon. North Korea news agency KCNA says Carter has left Pyongyang.

U.S. officials have billed Carter's trip as a private humanitarian visit to try to negotiate Gomes' release. Gomes was sentenced to eight years of hard labor in a North Korean prison for entering the country illegally from China.

Congileo says North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il granted the amnesty at Carter's request.

Jimmy is a much better ex-Pres than he was a President. Love how he whacks at the bastard state some call israel.

Because the Zionists over at LP. Who was it. Marguerite(sp) someone else, you know 'em ;} when pinned down(and boy howdy did they squirm;} described the Ysraeli Empire. The 'biblical maps ALWAYS subbed 'Y' for 'I'.

It's a dig at the Zionists who discuss real estate titles originating with their 'bible'. 8D

The Dear Leader of North Korea LEFT HIS COUNTRY while the most incompetent President (til Owe-bama) was there.

Carter's performance as ex President is almost as bad as his performance was AS President.

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
