Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is leaving North Korea with a U.S. citizen who was imprisoned in the communist country after entering it illegally in January, according to the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Aijalon Mahli Gomes, 31, of Boston, Massachusetts, was imprisoned in January and later sentenced to eight years of hard labor with a fine of about $600,000 for the crime of illegal entry into North Korea.

For all of those that complain that we are too harsh on our illegals I want to show them this.

North Korea seems like they have been cooperating on releasing the jerks that illegally entered their country this past year or so.

They probably don't have enough food to feed them so it's easier letting them go

As it turns out this whole thing was pre arranged.

Kimmy agreed to let the prisonor go .. to... Jimmah previously so it was just a matter of going there to get him.

But Jimmah managed to (wether on purpose or not) arrive in the country when Kimmy was not around

But I guess it all worked out for the best.
