North Korea released three U.S. hostages in the run-up to next month’s summit with President Trump. It should follow up by returning the USS Pueblo. Sent to map North Korean radar stations in January 1968, the spy ship, whose top speed was 13 knots, was pursued by North Korean gunboats. Machine-gun fire and artillery shells raked the ship, wounding 10 sailors, one fatally. The former freighter was armed only with two machine guns, tied down under ice-covered tarps.
