SNIPPET: "Jere Van Dyk, a freelance CBS reporter and author held by the Taliban for 45 days last year, still gets threatening messages from the Islamic militants on his answering machine in New York City.

“I am wary,” Van Dyk says. “I have received about 40 to 50 calls since I returned."

He also gets threats via e-mail.

"I have been threatened. I think most, maybe all, of the calls have come from my interpreter. He has called my family.”"

Maybe the guy they caught in Pockeystan from Colo. wasn’t such a nut. If my family were getting “threatening calls” from some asshole in Pockeystan, I think I know how I would respond...

OPINION:

The jihad is global the I’m glad the reporter went public with it.

Jihadis are cowards and don’t like to be exposed.

On the other hand, jihadis closer to home could read the article and be inspired.

Praying for this reporter’s safety.
