The article Wife, son of American man detained in North Korea beg for his release contains a caption that really boggles one's mind:
To understand the sheer stupidity of this text, one should read the following passage from the article:
It is also possible North Korean authorities mistook him for another Merrill Newman, a Korean War veteran awarded the Silver Star for valor in combat.Yes, there is another Merrill Newman*:
Merrill H. Newman, 84, was awarded the Silver Star for holding off a heavy Chinese attack during the war. Both men fought in the Korean War, have almost identical names and are around the same age.Now, assuming that the other Merrill Newman were incarcerated by the vilest regime in existence, would it have been OK? Just asking...
On the other hand: that ubiquitous smell of "we don't condone but we understand..." - isn't it the sign of the times?
(*) Fox News, in fact, repeat that "mistaken identity" theme in their headline...

Looks like some sort of bird is coming in from behind for a landing on her neck. It's distracting. ;-)
Gents, Ladies,
As always, thanks for the traffic!
Allen in Fort Worth.
Oh servants of Allah, remember that the Americans are the slaves of the Jooz and will spends thousands of hours watching the World Cup because the Jooz have cast a spell over their minds and will compel them to watch the athletic equivalent of a dripping faucet. Remember this, o servants of Allah!
It didn't distract me one damn bit.
That will be a new fashion in hairdressing.
You are welcome.
Ha! That from a place that considers baseball, this parody of sport, to be a worthwhile investment of time. Better to be in thrall of InJewCon and watch the glorious Mondial, where, I hope, the Brazilians will give a sound thrashing to the rest of the world again.
And I know why - cause you are not concerned with the fate of that beer.
sometimes being a teetotaler is a good thing, Snoop; it keeps your mind on the important things in life.
Baseball is an absolute proof of the existence of G-D! It says so in the Torah and again in the Gospels, even if the Rambam and St Augustine didn't have any use for the game-they were both hockey fans.
Yes, in this case you definitely got me.
Well, in that case... just a sec, I though they were into donkey races at the time.
Lies, Snoop, lies. That whole donkey race thing was something the first Muslims made up because the Prophet, peas be upon him, couldn't hit a curve ball at all.
"Wife, son of..." So, he's married to his child, eh, who seems to be a, uh, cross-dresser. No wonder the Norks are confused.
They don't need a pawn for Obongo. Just hint that they'll lobby for his third Nobel Peace Prize.
Yes, shabby beyond repair...
Yeah, that's a good bribe ;-)
Shoot, you can always buy more beer, but how often are you getting to see a picture of boobs like these shown so enticing?!
Apparently those b--tard Norks are holding this guy because he is a Korean War veteran, regardless of his name. Guess they think they get some leverage in holding him as a so-called War Criminal. According to a video the Norks put out the other day, Newman was signing a statement confessing to having killed Korean women and children sixty years ago. According to the Swedish Ambassador who visited Newman over the weekend, he is in good health and is being treated well. Hopefully the Norks will realize that they have got all the leverage they will get by Newman's detention and will soon release him
But having one's beer stolen is a real tragedy.
I hope too, unless they want to use him for bargaining with US.
