#1 Oriana will be sorely missed - unflinching common sense and blunt plainspeak regards Islam are almost non-existent, today. RIP.

#2 i like mcsegeek's tribute: she told the truth

there is no higher praise, for someone who did that at great personal cost. I am sorry she is dead. She is sorely missed.

#3 Circa 1979, Fallaci interviewed the parasitic tyrant, Ayatollah Khomenei. Before the interview began, Fallaci grabbed the Chador (head covering) that she was forced to wear, and said, "I am taking off this Medieval rag." Khomenei continued the interview.

#6 I get italian TV in my hotel room, and they had several very long segments dealing with her death, with reaction from at least seven politicians and other notables. She obviously struck a nerve.

My al Andalus report is forthcoming, pending recovery from sleep deprivation and equalization of my blood / sangria ratios.
