mr. secretary, when euna lee and laura ling were first detained by the north koreans, we were wondering,the north koreans detained them beyond this supposed border infraction. do you think indeed that that was the north koreans' intention, and in letting them go, how might that all play into that scenario? >> i think that they obviously calculate everything that they do. by holding them hostage for this period of time, then seeing an opportune time to take advantage of that, understanding that the international community was cracking down much harder, the chinese were sending a much stronger signal, they were running the prospect of having their ships check -- or be turned away from ports around the world. so i think the policy of the obama administration saying we're going to deal much tougher with the north koreans may have paid some real benefits here so that president clinton could then move in. they see this as an opportunity to build some goodwill. maybe that's enough to break the ice and say, they've saved face now, the united states is happy that these two young women are back ho
