Rodman returns to Pyongyang but says won't bring back jailed American.....
Flamboyant former basketball star Dennis Rodman left for North Korea on Tuesday for a five-day visit, his second this year, but said he had no plans to negotiate the release of a jailed American missionary.
Rodman's latest trip is being sponsored by Irish bookmaker Paddy Power.
"I'm just trying to go over there to meet my friend Kim, the Marshal," Rodman said. "Try to start a basketball league over there, something like that."
North Korea cancelled a visit by Robert King, U.S. special envoy on North Korean human rights issues, to Pyongyang last week on what the U.S. State Department said was a "humanitarian mission" to negotiate the release of Bae.
He called Kim, 30, who rules unchallenged in a country where there are an estimated 150,000-200,000 prisoners in work camps, "an awesome kid"......snip~

Rodman has returned to North Korea like he said.....says he is going to see an Ole friend. Try and get a basketball league going in N. Korea. He isn't going to try and talk Kim into releasing Bae. Thoughts upon the matter?
