So worried...

I am so worried about what's going to happen to the 28-year-old reporter taken hostage a few weeks ago in Iraq. I can't stop thinking about it.

  1. Wow, amazes me that adults can be as stupid as that 14 year old kid that went into Iraq.

    Not that I want to see her decapitated, but she had discussed the risks of being kidnapped with her mom. She was aware of the peril she put herself in.

    oh, well.

  2. in a way the kid was probably safer, being a kid and of iraqi decent and all.

  3. I saw that. It's such a shame. She probably had the "It won't happen to me" mindset.

  4. I don't think she is/was stupid (I haven't read the news, is she dead?). Like Brad said, she knew the risks. She wasn't stupid for deciding to take these risks; she probably just thought the benefits of her work as a reporter outweighed the chance of her dying.

    Of course, we can argue to we're blue in the face about whether or not liberal idealists are "stupid." I respect her for her choice to report from Iraq.

    Hope they let her go.

  6. Jake - is that you? I have a tracker, you know? It told me that the person that left that anonymous note in in Reno, uses Internet Explorer 6.0, their IP # is 207.213.169.132 , and they got to my site from yours. What kind of evil messed up terrorists are you guys harboring up there anyway??

    Yeah it was me. I was just too lazy to log in AND type in the password. I know you have that counter (as do I). But in all honesty I could give a rat's ass about that bitch.
