Rory Carrol, a reporter for the left-wing anti-American tabloid the British Guardian was released by "insurgent" hostage takers thirty-six hours after being kidnapped in Iraq.

Aside from the fact that it helps to work for a dictator-loving rag like The Guardian. Too bad Daniel Pearl could not have benefited from the reputation of his newspaper.

The irony though is that Carroll penned an article last month complaining that American soldiers were the biggest danger to them. I wonder if Mr. Carroll thinks that's true now. After all, he was imprisoned by "insurgents" and "militants" not "kidnappers" and "terrorists" was he not?
