    So is it safe to make the "But back home, he can't even get arrested!" jokes yet?

    Grim and nasty. First Roxana Saberi in Iran, now this. Considering how journalists who dare to piss off the government have fared in Russia lately, I hope that anybody here in the US with any connections will do their best to help him. Please keep us informed about this, and let's all spread the word on the web.

    @SarahHeartburn: Don't forget Euna Lee and Laura Ling in North Korea. My thoughts and prayers are with all the journalists out there in hostile parts of the world. I admire you, even when you annoy me. Especially when you annoy me.

    Come home soon, Keith, Roxana, Euna and Laura.

    @SarikaJalope: And all journalists who risk their necks on the job. BTW, let's not forget about a Spanish reporter who died in Baghdad

    in a US attack on the Palestine Hotel in 2003. It's a story that's barely come to light in the US, despite the efforts of the international press. You can read about it here:

    @SarahHeartburn:


    It was just a few years ago they were advertising jobs in the clandestine service in the newspapers and on the web to build the human intelligence force back up. So we sent them out and they're getting arrested all over the place (well two places?). Maybe they need better teachers.

    When you temper the ballots, you just make them stronger. Russia's ballots are the strongest in the world!

    You could take half of those "hot bachelors" photos and put them on match.com, they are THAT hot.

    I guess being loaded makes them "hot" bachelors?
