Beverly Giesebrecht, known as Khadija Abdul Qahaar, ran a pro-Jihadi Web site. She was captured in November extremist by Pakistani Muslim extremists. The September 11 terror attacks were a watershed event in the life of a Canadian journalist named Beverly Giesebrecht.

Soon after Al Qaeda terrorists killed 3,000 people in the U.S., Giesebrecht converted to Islam, adopted a new name — Khadija Abdul Qahaar — and spent the next two years studying the Koran in Egypt.

So, um...m, like after reading the entire article, just WHO did they think was going to pay the ransom to bring her back? Failure to plan is planning to fail.

“she was widely and not unreasonably suspected of being a part of some poorly-executed American counter-terrorism intelligence-gathering operation.”

I’m not exactly firing on all four cylinders today, but that’s the first thing that occurred to me.

She apparently was a recovering alcoholic from the other link shown.

This will give far greater meaning to the phrase “a tortured soul” than I want to think about.

The person defending her and claiming she would never initiate her own kidnapping is an idiot. He says she would never do it because she’s a needy person but I bet he never thought she would become a Taliban traitor either. I say they let her rot with her so called captors. She is where she belongs, hopefully in a dirty cave with dirty Taliban pigs.

I agree and I hope and pray that the Canadian government does NOTHING to try and “help” this wayward citizen. Sometimes you just can’t help stupid.

Ironic justice. A jihadi about to get whacked by jihadis. Tony Soprano would be proud.

Hubby had a funny line this morning. I mentioned the article and situation and his first response was, “This is where a good foundation in economics would have benefited her kidnappers — supply and demand. See, they have a commodity that has to be fed and guarded, requiring the expense and man-hours to do so when they could be out killing women and children in the streets. This is a situation where one would advise them to sell short and cut their losses.”

Only HE would see things that way, and he added, “Of course, one mourns the loss of life from the human perspective, but you just can't fix stupid.”
