#2 Why would jihadis grab a Guardian correspondent? That would be like a Hollywood star kidnapping his publicist.

#8 He said Mr Carroll had attempted to provide balanced coverage of the Iraqi conflict, often exposing "the bloody reality of the war and occupation launched by George Bush and Tony Blair".

Oh, that kind of balanced coverage. They had me worried for a minute...

#12 Sheesh, I guess they've never heard of "professional courtesy." (Remember the shark & lawyer joke?)

One can only suppose they'll return the favor and swab his neck with benzocaine before sawing off his head.

#15 Professional courtesy, old chaps... professional courtesy. I assume the kidnappers apologised very nicely to Mr. Carroll for their very understandible error, before they let him go. All these Euro-leftoid journos all look alike, to them.
