Belmont Club found three separate articles from Iraq correspondents who were all
1) taken captive by Iraqi mujahideen,
2) brought to a picturesque locale,
3) given food and made privvy to inside information, then
4) granted a surprising release on the condition they tell the world ‘the truth.’
See the blog for a side-by-side comparison of the articles from the New York Times and UK’s Daily Telegraph. Then read the third article, from Canada’s Globe and Mail.
The Belmont Club editor says
This sounds like a disinformation operation targeting journalists. Maybe their captors went to the same school.
Reminds us of another journalist taken captive by terrorists, Newsweek’s Joshua Hammer.
