I wonder if she is a Brit that strings for the OGW? Based on her comment about broken 'crockery' I'd guess she's not an American, so you may be right. Too bad it wasn't Maureen Dowd...

Akhtar Soomro, a freelance Pakistani photographer working with Gall, was detained for five-and-a-half hours. According to Gall, the agents broke down the door to her hotel room, after she refused to let them enter, and began to seize her notebooks and laptop. When she tried to stop them, she says one of the men punched her twice in the face and head. "I fell backwards onto a coffee table smashing the crockery," she recalled in a written account of the incident. "I have heavy bruising on my arms, on my temple and my cheekbone, and swelling on my left eye and a sprained knee."
... Gall said other local reporters identified them as employees from one of the country's two powerful spy agencies: Inter-Services Intelligence or Military Intelligence.
Three cheers for the Paki Secret Police.. Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray!
Stoo-pid™ NY Slimes libs think they can commit treason like they do here and consort with terrorists in foreign countries and then OUR constitution will protect them.

I wish a video of this was on YouTube -- priceless.
Too bad Pinch Sulzberger wasn't with her.

Yep. If the ISI had really wanted to take care of the NYT they would have just disappeared her or left her dead in front of the local news.

New York Times correspondent Carlotta Gall tells ABC News she was assaulted by plain-clothed government security agents while reporting in Quetta, a Pakistani city... According to Gall, the agents broke down the door to her hotel room, after she refused to let them enter, and began to seize her notebooks and laptop. When she tried to stop them, she says one of the men punched her twice in the face and head. Did she explain to them violence solves nothing?
I doubt she figured out there is a real world out there, after all she is a journalist.

We need to get the Iraqis to treat the NY Times reporters in Iraq the same way...particularly the ones that invent stories about mosque bombings and incinderairy bombings of Sunnis or Shia.

A NYT reporter trying to meet with the Teleban? She is lucky the Paki's got to her before she had the meeting.

Thanks for posting the Carlotta Gall picture, but you forgot to label it as Before or After. This one looks like she spent time in the ring with Mike Tyson, so I assume it is "After?"

The Middle East is dangerous...too bad nobody told Ms. Gall that before sending her there. That said, I'm not the least bit sorry...some liberals have to learn their lesson the hard way.

When she tried to stop them, she says one of the men punched her twice in the face and head.To any normal human, especially given the overall context, their breaking down the door might have suggested the prudent course would be compliance. But then we aren't dealing with a normal person here. Maybe she can get Gloria Allred to sue.
