Giulania Sgrena Returns

It's like the return of the living dead. These leftist wackjobs just keep resurfacing. Check out The Jawa Report for the 411. Previously posts of mine on the subject here.

Sgrena is Back

and cBS seems to be buying her BS. In an article entitled "Italian Journalist: U.S. Lied", they reiterate many of Sgrena’s talking points, and, forgive me if I am wrong, look to paint the United States as the bad guy. Does cBS realize that the USA is their home country? Apparently not. In a long, […]

Misc. Sgrena

A few tidbits on the Sgrena affair. I refuse to call it Sgrenagate like the DU loons. Here’s a great one from the AP. Headline: "Hostage’s joy quickly turned to Disaster." I’m shocked that the AP would take that tone (snicker). Besides, Sgrena seemed like she was having a good time with the terrorists, er, […]

Sgrena the Uniter?

From the Globe and Mail: ROME — Until very recently, Giuliana Sgrena was an obscure figure on the extreme fringes of Italian journalism, a leathery, wild-haired Communist whose angry reports denounced Silvio Berlusconi’s right-wing government and George W. Bush’s America. During this truly surreal week, Ms. Sgrena took on a strange new role from her […]

MSM’s avoiding Sgrena Story

A scan through the front pages of many of the Nations largest MSM’s reveals that most of them do not want to touch the Giuliana Sgrena story, at least not as a front page story. Not CNN, not the NY Times, not the Boston Globe, Washington Post, Nyet, nor the LA Times. This is a […]

More on the Sgrena affair

The Washington Times is now reporting that the ransom paid for Giulian Sgrena was in the $6 Million range, which is a jump from the initial $1 (which CNN didn’t seem fit to print). Furthermore, Italian agents likely withheld information from U.S. counterparts about a cash-for-freedom deal with gunmen holding an Italian hostage for fear […]

Ransom Paid For Sgrena?

According to an AP report: Asked whether ransom was paid, Agriculture Minister Giovanni Alemanno said it was "very probable." An Iraqi politician, Younadem Kana, said he had "nonofficial" information that $1 million was paid, Italy’s Apcom news agency reported, although that could not be confirmed. Give the terrorists what they want. Capitulate. Bad move. As […]

Back To Giuliana Segrena

Remember way back, when US soldiers were accused of firing on the car carrying Giuliana Segrena, the socialist newspaper reporter, who was “kidnapped” in Iraq a few years ago? Well, good news, an Italian court threw out the charges against a US soldier accused of firing on her car. See The Jawa Report for the full […]

Peace Activists Threatened. Again.

You would think that something like this would be best served under the War On Terror category, right? BAGHDAD, Iraq – The kidnappers of four Christian peace activists threatened to kill them unless all Iraqi prisoners are released from Iraqi and U.S. prisons, according to a new tape broadcast Saturday. Al-Jazeera TV aired a tape […]

WTW: It’s a Beautiful Morning

Hey, y’all, Jebediah here, on a beautiful Carolina morning. Cause nothing could be finer then to be in Carolina in the morning. Unless you are Kenneth Lee Boyd: North Carolina is set to administer the 1,000th execution in the United States since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty almost 20 years ago. On Tuesday […]
