Huh. I won't have what she's having. Poisoned? Random act that happens to folks ? Paki's? Russia? ISIS? Islam? Just bad luck ?
I’m going with poisoned.
yeah sounds like poison...
Al-Reuters, eh?
Remember the story of the frog and the scorpion?
I agree, poisoned.
Poisoned?
But what’s the motive?
It’s not as if Reuters were even relevant anymore.
I wonder what James O’Keefe is thinking?
all of the above?
Could be a little reminder to everyone else at
Reuters to remain irrelevant.
Sounds like a typical dogs and fleas sleeping issue.
Only 34 years old.
Who could have done it?
Take a look at her twitter page (easily Googled) and take your pick of dozens of potential suspects...
If the Russians come back with some “natural causes” or “illness” explanation, it’s a good bet it’s them or an ally.
FX? has shown Zero Dark Thirty fifteen times in the last couple weeks. Which is a commitment, that’s a very long movie.
