		<description>What I don&#039;t understand is why the Taliban let her go. Because she converted to islam? Actually being a muslim didn&#039;t help poor Margaret Hassan, who was doing humanitarian work for muslims when she was kidnapped and killed. (Does anybody know what, if any, non-muslim people are ever helped by muslim charities? I suspect none, but maybe my cynicism is on show.) Ridley must surely have been brainwashed into not only converting, but also using her conversion to provide propaganda for her captors and their &#039;brothers&#039;.</description>

		<description>Interviewing taxi drivers is surely just about the laziest way for a journalist to get a story. 

If you interviewed London taxi (black cab) drivers you would get the impression that all Black people in London are muggers, that all road accidents are caused by cyclists and that LBC is the most popular radio station in the capital. 

I expect journalists to get out and about a bit.</description>

		<description>Me

Quite agree. 

The vast majority of posters here will suffer from some kind of mentral trauma or distress that will cause them profound agony at some point in their lives.

Holding to these views of mental illness as a latter day leprosy will not give them the compassion they need to understand the pain and suffering that many of their friends and loved ones will experience.

They will not seek the care and understanding they need if they are suffering from a neuro-psychological condition that can be alleviated.

I say neuro-psychological condition because it is simply not the case that mental illness is &#039;all in the mind&#039; and thus a failure of strength of character as they imagine.

The more we understand about such conditions the more we realise the mind is not seperate from the brain but that &#039;psychological conditions&#039; rewire the brain&#039;s nueral pathways neurotransmitter activity.

I myself suffer remitting bouts of PTSD when exposed to events of senseless slaughter that recall or trigger the senseless slaughter I have witnessed.

These are now of diminished intensity as I have received drug treatment and psychotherapy.

We know from brain imaging studies that PTSD alters the structure of the brain and that successful treatment can stimulate neurogenesis, reformatting the architecture to use a computor metaphor.

prolonged unrelieved stress, produces elevated cortisol levels this assists in the depletion of Dpoamin producing neurones in the brain.

We are only born with 30,000 to 40,000 of these.

When these cells are depleted below a threshold we develop parkinsons disease, automatically.

So we are all just a degree of stress away from Parkinsons disease.

Stress kills and disables and there is no character strong enough to resist the neuro-psychological effects of stress.</description>

		<description>As a Muslim man, indeed, he is quite entitled to take any woman he wants, by consent or not, so long as she &quot;belonged&quot; to one of his enemies - the &quot;Prophet&quot; (piss be upon him) did it all the time.</description>

		<description>&quot;There are those who think her whole story of sudden conversion to Islam and even *capture* by the Taliban is fake, given that husb. no 1 was a Muslim.
I’ve no idea.&quot;

As a Muslim man he is quite entitled, under Islamic religious law, to marry a non-Muslim wife - just in case she belongs to one of the &quot;People of the Book&quot;.

Yvonne Ridley a NOC? :O

I think bloody not!</description>

		<description>&quot;Another possibility is that life’s hard out there, and she’s only trying to make a living….&quot;

Well, yes, but we all have a living to make, and most of us manage to do it without selling ourselves as shills to fascist dictators.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Are you suggesting, Judy, that Ms Ridley is an agent involved in a complicated game of double bluff? You, mean, she’s really on the side of the West? Better not let that get out, or Sister Yvonne will be in trouble.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
No, nothing as sophisticated as that, but her story has too many bizarre angles to add up. As O Wilde might have said, to marry one intelligence agent may be deemed a misfortune, but to then marry another on the opposite side looks like carelessness. Oh, and I must apologise for attributing her first marriage to the Mossad guy--it seems he was her third. Don&#039;t know what the story is about Mr In Between.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/1115&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;There are those who think &lt;/a&gt;her whole story of sudden conversion to Islam and even *capture* by the Taliban is fake, given that husb. no 1 was a Muslim.
I&#039;ve no idea.

She&#039;s clearly able to believe at least six impossible things before (and after) breakfast, so one possibiity is that she&#039;s an accomplished fantasist and embellisher of mundane realities, not least in her own biography. Seems a useful talent for a news reporter working for the more sensationalist sector of the British press, followed by a post with Press TV.

Even more weird, for someone who&#039;s so ferociously a self-declared hunter down of zionists, it seems &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dianahsieh.com/blog/2006_03_01_monthly.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;she&#039;s been continuing to use the surname of the presumably hated Israeli Mossad husb no 3&lt;/a&gt; as an email handle some eight or nine years after she claims she chucked him out. Maybe this is evidence of a rather subtle wit not otherwise on display in her writings? Still, let&#039;s consider the more mundane possibility that she&#039;s just such a busy bee she hasn&#039;t yet had time to tidy up the string of surnames that comes with a sequence of ended marriages. You know how it is.

Of course it is the case that British intelligence has used journalist status as a cover for its semi-detached assets in the past. It seems hardly credible that any intelligence service anywhere would recruit anyone so obviously exhibitionistic and sensation-seeking as Yvonne Ridley. But then there&#039;s that maverick MI6 ex agent who now regularly puts out fantasies and conspiracy absurderies on the internet.....

Another possibility is that life&#039;s hard out there, and she&#039;s only trying to make a living....</description>

		<description>Yvonne Syndrome: &quot;I am flattered I am keeping you all so occupied - you’ve certainly entertained me.
Sorry, must go now to take my latest gadgets from M.&quot;

Keep taking the tablets, dear. 

Stupid woman doesn&#039;t even know that one gets one&#039;s gadgets from Q, not M. At least one would if one weren&#039;t a fucking traitor. The security services can recognise those when they see one. 

Anyway don&#039;t you worry about what the nasty kufr say. Big sexy chaps with beards will be along to kill them all in a minute.</description>
