Kidnapped italian reporter pleads for US to pull out of Iraq in new video
2005-02-16
A videotape released on Wednesday showed a female Italian reporter, pleading for her life and asking the United States to pull out its occupying forces from Iraq. "You must end the occupation, it's the only way we can get out of this situation," Giuliana Sgrena said in the videotape, obtained by Associated Press Television News. Sgrena appeared alone in the brief footage, sobbing and clasping her hands, with a white background behind her. "I ask the Italian government, the Italian people struggling against the occupation, I ask my husband, 'Please, help me,'" Sgrena said in French. "You must do all you can to end the occupation. I'm counting on you, you can help me."
French?

#14  Of course, any member of MEATO would be viewed by the thugocracies as a MEAT Puppet.

#13  I will believe she was kidnapped on the day this NEW group lops off her twisted head. Until then let's just call her a collaberator.

#12  It would be ironic if she was murdered by the very insurgents that she supports so fervently. C'est la vie.

#10  This lady obviously has forgotten the lessons taught by the great Fabrizio Quattrochi. Assuming she learned those lessons in the first place which is doubtful.

#7  Well whaddya know. These guys say it was "by “counterinsurgency” black op groups—now admitted to be working in both Iraq and Iran by the Pentagon—posing as resistance fighters."

#6  asked that all the pics she's taken of Iraqi children killed and maimed by the Infidel's cluster bombs be posted to save her life. She's in with them.

#5  Jules, in a way, yes... she's one of the el cubo sistahs ("anti-war" scribbler who writes for the Communist publication Il Manifesto).

#4  Is she related to those other two Italian whores? Quote sounds eerily familiar.

#3  The US occupation will end the minute the Iraqis sign on to a Status of Forces agreement. Then maybe the US, Iraq and Israel can form a new defense organization: The Middle EAst Treaty Organization, or MEATO.
