A mixed bag is better than all bad news when it comes to North Korea. The bellicose, human rights-violating nation launched two short-range missiles off its east coast on Monday. The maneuver marked its second missile test in five days. However, on the positive side, North Korea freed and expelled John Short, a 75-year-old Australian missionary who had been held since August 2012. The country's official news agency said, “Our related agencies have decided to expel him, given the generosity of the laws of our republic.” Sure, North Korea, sure.
