Really?! Gosh, am almost speechless!

Take a Very Good look at what happened to those Pom Poms and their Kodak Pics in 2007. Oh, there was a major debate on their “capture”, “release”, “shame”, and possibly “Valour” in 2007.

So tiresome.... How’s Roxana Saberi doing?

I’m sure someone can post a congenial photo too (2007). Maybe of happy ending or not this time.....

I guess: “stay tuned for the next episode of soap”.
