I think she has a LOT more of the story to tell and I don't think she was grandstanding at all. I truly believe she was concerned for her colleague's welfare.

"...and I definitely want to hear more from the latter though I'm guessing she will be protective of her network and sources."

And some revelations could have regional/international ramifications.

Do you know if Jennifer does a blog for Fox News?? I can't go to the Fox News site...or my computer shuts down for some reason.

Your computer shuts down when you go to FoxNews.com? Wow, I've never heard that before. Can any computer techies out there help Txsleuth?

I don't know if Jennifer Griffin has a blog. I'll try to find out, and get back to you if she does...

Caroline Glick of J Post embedded in Iraq when we first went in. But she had to finesse her press credentials because Kuwait would not permit her to set out from there with Israeli credentials and Kuwait was the launching point for all the embeds.

Israeli journalist are not allowed into Arab countries. But the coverage of the Lebanese War and the Pali areas can be obtained very comprehensively from Israeli and US sources that do not need to risk their lives and integrity.

It has become patently obvious that Western journalism is being used as an incendiary tool in the terrorist's arsenal. The way to end that is to not cover places where the access has propaganda strings. I hope that in part that will be one lesson coming out of the Lebanese War.

I think we understood this better when the Soviets had their show trials for instance.

Great response and you may be absolutely right. Thanks.

I just want to make sure that if we do pull out...we have a legitimate VISUAL way to authenticate Lebanese and Palestinian fauxtaugraphy and staged video footage.

And it has to be visual.

Reading the riot act to a group of possible armed savages in a dark alley? How about I say her story is a bit embellished.

I never said she wasn't concerned about her colleagues by the way.

Yes...I got to that site...and all of a sudden I get a big box in the center of the screen that says that Yahoo is having trouble and will have to shut down..and about 10 seconds later...the computer goes back to my wallpaper.

It does that if I try to go on the Washington Times website also...just those 2..but it is frustrating.

Did you get the impression that the captors knew who they were taking? I heard Steve say he knew they googled his name and that is when they said they thought he was a spy.

That said, we can thank Peter for giving us a great example of just how great Christ's forgiveness is.

Absolutely.

I like her knowledge of the region as well as her reporting. The last thing I have ever found her to be is a grandstander.

Yep, saw it. Hated it. Believe what you want, but most folks around here don't let that kind of garbage lay around for very long. It starts to stink up the place really fast.

Just finished watching it on the Fox website.

I noticed several things about it that made me say "what?".

I'll watch again tomorrow but I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed anything.

Off for beauty rest.

Olaf even made the sign of a knife cutting the throat and they said "no, that's in Iraq, that's Zarqawi...we are Palistinian, we don't do that.

No, we Palestinians only hang you up in the town square by your intestines and let our children use your blood for fingerpaint. If you're Jewish, that is.

Not Jewish, Olaf? Then no problem. Make the video extolling the virtues of Islam.
