#1 It's bad enough when the bad guys use kidnapping as a fund raiser, and worse when folks pay the ransom. But our Italian journalist might have just been an excuse for passing cash? How many levels of hell are there, again?

#2 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't recall a hostage taker or a gun appearing in any of the videos with the Italian Commie Journalist, as there were with other kidnappings.

This has caused the conspiracy theorist in me to ask whether perhaps she was colluding with them for a cut of the ransom??? Why has there not been much discussion of this in the blogosphere?

I see no reason she would NOT collude with the terrorists. It's a win-win for her, she gets to support her terrorist friends and walk away a little richer...not to mention she is now the cause celebre of the anti-freedom left.

#3 To paraphrase 'The Right Stuff' - Do you know what makes rockets fly?

#5 mjh, why any need for collusion? If it was a faked kidnapping why involve any iraqis except a couple of 'extras'. The whole thing smells and a faked kidnapping is a plausible explanation.

#7 Dear Clueless Troll: To be truthful, Saddam participated in a assassination attempt on Iraq's prime minister in 1959 and then fled to Egypt. He returned to Iraq in 1963 after the Ba'athists briefly came to power, and he played a significant role in the 1968 revolution that secured Ba'ath Party hegemony. He held key economic and political posts before becoming Iraq's president in 1979. The U.S. had nothing whatsoever to do with his rise to power. You are a pompous ass, unworthy of making any pronouncements in Jesus' name.
