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 […]

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).

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.

The sketch and data were on […]

HILLAH, Iraq – Thousands of mostly black-clad Iraqis protested Tuesday outside a medical clinic where a suicide car bomber killed 125 people a day earlier, braving the threat of another attack as they waved clenched fists, condemned foreign fighters and chanted "No to terrorism!" Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s terror group, which has repeatedly seized foreigners and […]

Since the radical division between the Left and Right occurred in the months after 9/11, we have seen both sides take different stances on the War on Terror, particularly in the media and the vocal Left. Daniel Pipes of Front Page Magazine illustrates this very well in this article: For a free people in the […]

Via Dr S. at My Pet Jawa (sorry, Dr. S, I like that better then the Jawa Report) comes a story of the rescue of an American citizen in Iraq. US citizen Hussein al-Saadi, 10, who was kidnapped for a ransom of 150,000 US dollars ( 113, 178 Euro ) two weeks ago, is kissed […]

Sorry, don’t have another Hillary photo today. I am sure everyone is disappointed that they can keep their breakfast down. However, we do have a great quote from her: "The fact that you have these suicide bombers now, wreaking such hatred and violence while people pray, is to me, an indication of their failure," Clinton […]

And Kedwards, the Left, and the EU want to work with these sub-humans why? Iran’s hard-line Revolutionary Guards have declared the death sentence on British author Salman Rushdie is still valid – 16 years after it was issued. The military organisation, loyal to Iran’s supreme leader, said the order was "irrevocable", on the eve of […]
