Probably another liberal victim of their own naivete. Besides, what kind of woman goes alone on vacation to Istanbul? And what kind of mother goes on vacation without her children?
I don’t know if she’s a liberal or not, but you’re prolly spot on about the naivete. You have to be really naive or STUPID to travel through the ME, including Turkey, alone. Doubly stupid for a woman and she was staying in and touring through a particularly bad spot of town.
Daniel Pearl was as naive. He was less of a journalist and more of a cautionary tale, if anybody was interested in listening.
I would ask what kind of mother goes on vacation with her children?
Everyone doesn’t want to go to Disneyland or camping - who in their right mind wants to cope with screaming children when you want to look at paintings in the Louvre.....
