Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher wants US Special Forces to get involved in the recent conviction of two US journalists arrested in North Korea.

"This should be a national crisis... We have to demand that something be done," he wrote.

Acc Kutcher added, "I say it's special ops time... If we can save that Captain (Capt. Richard Phillips) from (Somalian) pirates, we can save these journalist (sic)."

I got a better idea.

How about some real justice.

Dispatch a police SWAT team to hunt down William Ayers and Bernadette Dorhn, then swap them out for the two journalists.

Tell the NORKs this swap cries out as an example of justice.
