The anti-American Irish journalist Rory Carroll was released a day or so after he was taken captive by pro-Sadr gangsters this past week. So much for my Schadenfreude.
It is interesting to note, however, that the BBC report linked to above fails to mention the fact that Carroll was first released into the custody of Ahmed Chalabi, the hated manipulator of the entire Western world and professional Gavrilo Princip impersonator. Why should that be? Any guesses?
