When It Comes Down To It We're All On The Same Side Really
(hat tip: rottypup)
Unbelievable. It just goes to show that it isnt who you know, its who you write for...even the Islamopaths of Iraq can obviously be persuaded to set a decadent western journalist free as long as he's a Jooooo-hating, Yank-bashing Leftist bastard like Rory Carroll. I guess all he had to do was direct his captives to one of his choicer comments on Israel and they soon realised he was of far more propaganda value to them carrying on with his poisonous journalism than having his head sawn off on video.
Either that, or, as one of the very first comments on LGF said when this story broke, what's occurred here can be summed up in one word.
'Staged.'

Then again, there's always another explanation for Caroll's release. Accepted, the holy warriors are deranged, goat-molesting sociopaths who blow up little children while they beg for sweets. But. They're (though only marginally) human. If you stick a pin in a jihadist, he'll yelp. If you smack him in the head with a baseball bat, it will hurt. (Ahh, happy thoughts.) So, consider, the kind of *torment* the holy warriors would have had to endure, cooped up in a small safe-house with a Guardian journalist. For weeks. Perhaps months. Seriously, no human being could take that kind of punishment.
RP - LOL.
You guys are some sanity in a very scary world.
