| Wilders Causes Another Row. Pre-Captivity Stockholm Syndrome |
| 2009-06-01 |
| In November 2008 a Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, was abducted by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. She was held captive, raped repeatedly, and released after six days for a ransom of 100,000 euros ($137,000). After her ordeal, she acknowledged that her captors “did horrible things to me,” but added in several media interviews “They also respected me,” and emphasized “They are not monsters.” |

| #3 It's not like the captors/rapists drove carbon spewing SUVs or anything. Well they did after the ransom 100,000 Euro ransom. So I guess the Taliban really are monsters after all. |

| #1 he was held captive, raped repeatedly So... what exactly ranks as monstrous in Ms. de Rijke's book? Nevermind. I don't want to know. |
