Well maybe now we might want her dead. More for the health of the gene pool than propaganda purposes. What complete twit.

[Tree of Liberty]

What complete twit

A British journalist? What are the odds?

"The 43-year-old, who is launching a book on her 10-day ordeal"

LOL! "10-day ordeal", what a self-important nincompoop! Wish someone WOULD put her out of MY misery.

[dighton]

It could be a chapter from "Scoop", novelist Evelyn Waugh's famous spoof in which a foreign correspondent gets into a tangle in a far-flung war.

No, but she could illustrate delusions of grandeur in a psych textbook.

..trying to have her executed during her capture to boost public support for the U.S. bombing campaign in Afghanistan.

Apparently the 90% public approval of the war effort didn't cut it.. Executing her would have only boosted the Taliban's popularity.

The 43-year-old, who is launching a book on her 10-day ordeal, accused Western intelligence services on Wednesday of trying to have her executed during her capture to boost public support for the U.S. bombing campaign in Afghanistan.

What a whore. The West didn't need her execution as a reason for war. The Muslims already killed 5,000 people. That's reason enough.

A British journalist? What are the odds?

I dunno, but if Robert "I would have beaten me up, too" Fisk ever needs a date, I think we've found the woman for him ...

[Billthedrill]

I do hope nobody in British Intelligence, the SAS, or anyone else had to risk his or her life to bring this twit out of Afghanistan. Journalists tend to be self-important, but this one's delusional as well.

She flatters herself (and her book tour has NOTHING to do with it, I'm sure).

[aculeus]

No, but she could illustrate delusions of grandeur in a psych textbook.

... or write scripts for Oliver Stone.

[lavaroise]

I advocate what she is advocating, let us kill her, after all she abrogates her right to self defend and to be protected by the West.

[Tree of Liberty]

Well, if they ever do get together, let's hope his swimmers are as weak as his constitution so they don't further pollute the gene pool.

[Whilom]

Pseudologia fantastica.

[Aurelius]

BUMP

[Melinator]

That's Right. Anyone, foreign or domestic, who rejects U.S. "Protection" should be killed. How dare they turn up their noses at Western protection. I agree with you lavaroise. You should murder her!!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I dunno, but if Robert "I would have beaten me up, too" Fisk ever needs a date, I think we've found the woman for him ...

LOLOL!! That's great! You must be a professional matchmaker.

[Reg Niwthgir]

Is there anyone in the world who can match a leftist British journalist for sheer self-importance?

Well, maybe the Clintons. And Geraldo.

[WarPaint]

WHO?
