2. Yeah, the purple prose is a bit much...

Wonder why she didn't write up this account right away? I have always felt that the Christian Science Monitor was probably worried shitless about their legal liability had anything happened to her as a freelancer - and they made a big deal of hiring her full time after the episode - etc. - the whole thing just feels a bit snarky...

[question everything]

3. Not from Hemingway competition? (nt)

4. I saw that too...then went and hid under my bed for awhile.

Until I realized that CNN is fighting the GWOT against the Grinch.

5. she reveals herself to be disappointingly human-

and the media will take the worst of her, and play it up for everyone to digest, and adopt-

I admired her- now, I feel embarrassed and sad for her-

peace,

6. I predict

a career change---sounds like she is honing her craft as a wannabe romance novelist. Maybe the burkha-ripper could be a new sub-genre.

7. "Captor's eyes were black as ink with a heart to match"

Just curious. Are those her words? I saw the "eyes were black as ink,"
but what about the "with a heart to match" part?
