for shame

while i am a little enheartened to finally see some coverage of the two american journalists imprisoned in north korea, i was a little disappointed to hear how flippantly unprofessional sec. clinton was when when referring to them:

HILLARY CLINTON, Secretary of State: We think the imprisonment, trial and sentencing of Laura and Euna should be viewed as a humanitarian matter.

it seems so out of place to use their first names in this context, considering they've been in custody in dprk for nearly three months.
