An agent of El Libranofesto wanders into camp, and what do our erstwhile brave neo-con bloggers do with the opportunity?
What a bunch of all hat, no cattle, chickenhawk, warblogging wannabes they turned out to be.
Not just one, but two shiny brass rings went swinging slowly by .... plump, juicy low-hanging fruit... and they turned the bitch loose. That wasn't just a couple million in ransom cash flying out the window, kiddies - that was your chance at gaining a sympathetic voice at the Toronto Star.
Antonia Zerbisias has never met a bomb building, hostage taking, sword-wielding "insurgent" she couldn't cheer for. And we didn't even get a fake hostage video out of it.

Take a look at her pic.
She reminds them of mom ;-)
Next time - bring her to me in an orange jumpsuit ..... or don't come back at all.
Hey, why weren't you there, Kate? Don't give me that feeble "I live 2,000 miles away from Toronto" excuse. (So do I, after all.)
Didn't want to upstage her.
Or get arrested.

"Or get arrested."
Chickenhawk.
