Duly noted & great post :-) Agree there’s something disturbing in a storyline that smacks of deliberate “outing”:

That the rebels have a hidden base is a closely guarded secret and nowhere is it guarded more secretly than the planet Yavin, a system in the Outer Rim…

“Yes, m’Lord… the Daily Telegraph has just revealed the location of the rebel base… you may fire when ready…”

What I don’t know is whether the Telegraph inserted that information gratuitously or if they have a policy (like my home-town paper claims to) that requires it. I’m not an expert on newspaper ethics, but the local paper claims it “can’t” withhold a subject’s identity, age and location unless the subject’s life is in jeopardy AND the paper is willing to admit it.

How does the paper admit these women’s lives are in danger without appearing Islamophobic? To do so implicitly contradicts the hijacked-by-a-few-extremists theme still pushed by Big Media.

What am I forgetting? (And maybe I’m not bothered by it as much as I should be – my heart must be turning into a lump of coal :-) )

RD’s quite right. The Telegraph is a right-leaning paper. And I concur in congratulating them on publishing the story; I just wish they hadn’t given the who and where.

Shooter – I found this on Wikipedia:

According to a MORI survey conducted in 2004, 61% of Telegraph readers were Conservative Party supporters compared with 31% of the general population.

They lean more to the right than papers like the Guardian. Let us hope the Telegraph’s ulterior motive is to undermine tyrants like these by revealing their hypocrisy. As Ali Sina and others have said, Islam’s weak spot is not the threat of violence (for Islam sanctifies it and invites a challenge on that basis) but its inability to tolerate the slightest criticism or ridicule.

The notion that Arab Muslims would prefer to bide their time in Israel (!) while their blood relative stakes out the “moral high ground” of Islamic jihad as a so-called “Palestinian” is precisely the kind of absurd contradiction that needs to be shown the bright light of day. Bravo, UK Telegraph.

Here’s an idea-place economic sanctions on Jordan, forcing the Jordanian government to come and pick up their citizens, Hamas, PA, et al…and incorporate them rather than letting them bother the neighbors. Jordan lost…not big enough…LOST to Israel, and should not be squatting their citizens on Israel’s land as if they owned it. Who do the Jordanians think they are, Mexico?

Hmm, women not allowed to drive or work. The liberals are right. Other cultures *are* better than ours.

Hammas on a “political hot seat” is a good thing. Great thing!
I dont know the ‘Telegraph’ well enough to know if they would have ulterior motives, or just leaning way left as most msm’s. Names and the city name could have been kept secret,just as they had to live, in secret. Maybe the publicity will keep them alive? I doubt it, a cover up and a couple lies seems more likely. Spread the word, keep em alive.
.
As for the continued Saudi oppression…. that’s what they do.
Keep as many people in total ignorance as possible. It’s so much easier to brainwash the ignorant. Nice catch Allah.

I remember as a kid, having a neighbor that fought with the US Army in Northern Africa during WWII and how would tell stories about the war. He talked about how lonely a soldier could get in the desert, but never, ever bad enough to spend time with the local Muslim women. Interesting how they feel that if they don’t hide their faces, men just go berserk with lust. Nice fantasy for them anyway.
