Terrorists take anti-war journalist hostage
That’s right, folks. The terrorists hate all of us (no surprise here). From Reuters:
Giuliana Sgrena, a journalist with communist Rome newspaper Il Manifesto, was snatched from the street as she conducted interviews near Baghdad University. Gunmen pulled up alongside her vehicle, forced her driver and an Iraqi journalist out at gunpoint and drove off with Sgrena, police sources said.
And from my favorite Google News source,
The Religion of Irony never ceases to amaze. Here is a translation of a report by Giuliana Sgrena in the German liberal weekly Die Zeit. It seems the terrorists have taken another anti-war reporter hostage. In it, she refers to the accidental bombing of a market by the US as a “massacre”and refers to the bombing of Baghdad as an attempt to “terrorize the population”.
Guess where else her work has been published? Z-mag. Yes, the magazine for aging Communists run by Howard Zinn. Yes, that Howard Zinn.
After the whole doll-as-hostage debacle, one can’t help but wonder…no, surely she wasn’t complicit in this.
Anyway, let it serve as notice that all Westerners, including anti-war activists, are targets of the “Religion of Peace.”
[Thanks Rusty, for the heads-up. Go read his much-more detailed piece on this.]

For example, a number of bloggers are claiming that Italian jour…
