Quick reading on the sympathy meter shows a -10...I think this thing is busted...nope, it's not.....
A West Vancouver, B.C. journalist has been kidnapped in a tribal area of northern Pakistan, according to a Globe and Mail report. (calling her a journalist is a stretch -ed.)
Beverly Giesbrecht, a Web magazine publisher in British Columbia who adopted the name Khadija Abdul Qahaar after converting to Islam after 9/11, was seized at gunpoint on Tuesday while gathering material for an upcoming documentary in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan.
An English language Pakistani newspaper reported the incident Wednesday, saying the journalist and her translator were seized by armed men, and police were combing the area to locate her.
Lisa Monette, spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs, would not confirm the report, but did say a Canadian is missing in Pakistan.
On an Oct. 22 posting to her publication's website, Jihad Unspun, Qahaar appealed to her contributors for funds to help her and her colleagues secure visas to exit Pakistan, citing kidnapping fears.
"We have managed to get very good material out of the country to our production groupbut our physical safety is now paramount," Qahaar writes.

Well just what do they want us to do? Go rescue her..
Perhaps they want Muslims to vote for Oba- wait, never mind!
Set up? "Let's pretend that you kidnapped me, and then you can use the cash my readers send to buy expolsives to strap onto mentally retarded people heading for the marketplace and the day care center." I think it's sad when anyone is kidnapped, but when the "victim" is a vocal supporter of the kidnappers, I prefer to check the facts before getting too wound up. BTW, if this is real, then I'm all for a rescue, if we have the intel and enough firepower to make sure that no kidnapping thug sees the sunrise.

Have a good day today.
You too!
:-D
I will.
Each new day is a good day.
This reminds me of the scene in “Natural Born Killers” when Robert Downey Jr(Wayne) helps Mickey and Mallory escape...and before they pump any number of rounds in him, he protests that he’s on their side and “Is this some kind of joke?”
She’s a Islamic Propagandist who seeks to destroy the West, why should she be rescued?
Yep, it looks a lot like the MO of the Red Brigades in the 1970s. They got a lot of money from rich parents of sympathetic university kids by staging kidnappings and collecting ransom.
In the event that the kidnapping was real, she should be rescued because kidnappers are evil. In the event that the whole thing was staged, she should be rescued and all kidnappers killed because dead kidnappers and dead terrorists are both good things. Either way, any chance to kill (don't arrest them, Obama will institute "catch and release" in two months) terrorists is a chance to make the world a better place.
Why Obama is making Al-Qaeda nervous
[because the Daily Star spin-doctors in favor of the Muzzies?]
