#2 Liberationâs managing editor, Antoine de Gaudemar, said the pair did not appear to have been picked up by U.S. or Iraqi forces or been involved in an accident. But other hypotheses "like kidnapping, are little by little taking on plausibility,"

ROFL! Great investigative skills, Liberation. Hey, I'm not Sherlock, but I'm guessing that in less than one week's time, I could determine from here, and wearing pajamas, with no Iraqi phone book at my disposal, that she wasn't being held by the US military or in an accident.

These guys are DUMB. No wonder they sent that poor girl off into a situation with a high probability that she would end up getting raped, murdered and killed.

#5 tw - It's a Code 187: Murder, Death, Kill. I saw it in Demolition Man, so it must be true. :-)

#7 The Mad Mullahs have this covered, IIRC, sentencing blasphemers to death, imprisonment, and public whipping. That was the order given in the press release.

#9 Shouldn't the headline read "abducted", if by "abducted" you mean filming propoganda for the enemy.

#11 I've got an idea: why don't we send them Dan Rather and his friends as replacements?
