Linda Heard is a British editor, journalist and columnist currently based in Cairo where she is a correspondent for the English-language Saudi daily The Arab News. Besides the writers weekly column in the Gulf News and regular articles in Shindagah magazine, her political commentaries have been published in Ahram Weekly, the South China Morning Post, Athens News, Palestine Chronicle, CounterPunch, Alternet, Online Journal and Outlook India.
However, after many years spent in the Arab world, including Dubai - where she was the Editor of both the Emirates In-flight and the Dubai Airport publications - Linda has grown to love the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf. When I hear the hauntingly beautiful call of the muezzin, I know Im home, she is known to say.
IMO, she is bad news and appears to be very biased and is no friend of the United States. I didn't read anything that validated or proved what she has written is true. She is not going to accept anything positive about the Marines or the United States, and I am not going to accept anything she writes as being factual! She isn't worth spitting on if she was on fire.
