And just who is Dennis Rodman going to call if he becomes a prisoner of North Korea, along with all his buddies?

What upset me even more was Dennis's implying that imprisoned American Kenneth Bae deserves to be in jail. I think this is very irresponsible and dangerous to Kenneth. Dennis needs to stay out of politics...he could be sentencing this man to life, death or longer time when he may not have the whole story.

As long as we don't pay a dime to rescue him if he displeases his new best buddy.

Just what I told DH. They're best buds until he get POd at Rodman. Hmmmm, he's a famous BB player. How much and what would the US pay to get him back.

Personally, I think he is a few French fries short of a Happy Meal.

I totally agree with you croemer, that is my biggest concern. There is a man's life at stake here and Rodman keeps flip-flopping his position like a fish out of water, he's only trying to make a buck while trying to save face, if he still can. The facts are, Bae is suffering, and Rodman doesn't care. He only cares about the abuse he is going to face. Gosh, the fact he is even dealing with criticism might be the first clue he is doing something wrong???

Here is an excerpt from another article, posting because it contains details about Bae's condition.

~~ “Don’t use these guys as a shield,” Cuomo insisted, before Rodman reclaimed the floor. “You’re a guy behind a mic right now, we’re the guys here doing one thing,” Rodman said. “We have to go back to America and take the abuse. Do you have to take the abuse that we’re going to take?”

Abuse is precisely what Bae’s family believes is happening to the since his imprisonment in November 2012. The tour guide, who was reportedly also proselytizing during his time in North Korea, was sentenced to 15 years hard labor, which is taking a toll on his well-being. “His health is deteriorating consistently,” Bae’s friend Bobby Lee said in an interview conducted in September. “He has an enlarged heart and diabetes, eye troubles and back issues, and they’re being exasperated from working hard labor all day … On top of all of this, the mental stress that’s coming from the hard labor is undeniable. The isolation takes a toll.”

Rodman promised in August to help free Bae, before reversing course after arriving in Pyongyang in September for his second visit. “Guess what? That’s not my job to ask about Bae,” Rodman said to the press after his return at the time. Bae’s family and friends have slammed Rodman for not fulfilling his promise and the way he “folded like a cheap tent” before Kim. North Korea had at one point seemed willing to allow the visit of the U.S.’ Special Envoy for North Korean Human Rights Issues to discuss Bae’s case last August, but rescinded the offer just days before Amb. Robert King was set to arrive." ~~

Rodman is a traitor. If he gets "detained" there like Lisa Ling's sister and the other girl she was with, I hope he doesn't call the President to get him out. Kim is a very dangerous man and I compare what Dennis is doing to what Jane Fonda did with the North Vietnamese.
