Political Humor | Terrorists Threaten to Kill Journalist

From the Associated Press

Hostage American reporter Jill Carroll appeared in a silent 20-second video aired Tuesday by Al-Jazeera television, which said her abductors gave the United States 72 hours to free female prisoners in Iraq or she would be killed.

The tape showed the 28-year-old reporter sitting in front of a white background and speaking, but her voice could not be heard. On the tape, Carroll is pale and appears tired, and her long, straight, brown hair is parted in the middle and pulled back from her face.

But still people claim that WE are the bad guys.

On a side note, I would like to say that I am as proud as a father on his daughter’s wedding day to finally be recognized as a propagandist. It brings a tear of joy to my eyes.

As opposed, of course, to Al-Jazeera, which would not disclose their source of the video. Perhaps if Al-Jazeera actually, you know, CARED about their fellow humans, they would keep track of that sort of thing, and provide information for a rescue operation.

A logo on the corner of a still photo of the video read, “The Revenge Brigade.” According to AP, “The group was not known from previous claims of responsibility of violence in Iraq.”

You don’t say. Does it ever occur to these idiots that they just make up new names for themselves as they go along, to leave the impression that there are more and more terrorist groups everyday? Did anyone ever notice that some new unheard of group remains unheard of afterward and a “new” group with a new name shows up? Just an observation.

Carroll, who was kidnapped January 7, is a freelance reporter for the Christian Science Monitor. I suppose that makes her a “propagandist,” huh? Personally, I hope we figure out how to storm in there in time, rescue her, and offer the terrorists some lead therapy. Hopeful, but doubtful.
