[Tennesseer]

Americans Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller have been allowed to leave North Korea -- where they had been detained -- "and are on their way home," the Office of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence announced Saturday.

The DNI's office said that the U.S. government is facilitating the two men's return home, though it was not immediately clear when they would arrive back in the United States.

"We welcome (North Korea's decision to release both Mr. Bae and Mr. Miller," the office said in a statement. "We want to thank our international partners, especially ... the government of Sweden, for their tireless efforts to help secure their release.

I believe these two men are the last Americans being held by N. Korea. To Americans who wish to go to N. Korea to proselytize your political, religious or other beliefs -please stay home. You are using up what little, if any, political capital we have with N. Korea..
