In an almost Jack Bauer-like 20-hour negotiation effort with the North Koreans, President Bill Clinton managed to get the two American journalists, who were sentenced to 12 years in a hard labor camp in June, freed.

I couldn’t see former President Bush do anything like that!

Hahaha! Jack Bauer’s kind of CIA torture is so classic and old-school! His punch-and-yell-emotionally-at-the-villains-style is way preferable to sinister needles full of paralyzing chemicals kind of torture!

Kiefer Sutherland does this thing with his “aaan”s. They are quite long.
Funny because Bush was completely against any type of negotiation efforts with North Korea. President Clinton’s ninja-skills of diplomacy came in handy.
