More on Nabbed Pro-Taliban Web Mistress
Remember Beverly Giesbrecht, aka Khadija Abdul Qahaar?
While I can’t say I agree with everything on The Jawa Report, I love the bluntness of some of the content. Case in point: this, on the missing web mistress:
Let me just make note of a few things in this terribly researched Canada.com story. The author, “Jane Seyd”, seems to interview only a few people for the story, but the main source is a close friend of Beverly’s named Glen Cooper.
Any person who was close friends with Beverly Giesbrecht will also meet one or more of the following criteria: very stupid; on the Leftwing fringe; a terror supporter; or the kind of person who finds it necessary to befriend the crazy old lady with all the cats down the street.
Besides the source, here are the two major problems:
1) Nowhere does the article mention that Jihad Unspun was an objectively pro-terrorist and pro-Taliban publication.
2) The friend tells us that Beverly went to Pakistan to make a documentary. What it does not mention is the fact that the documentary was meant to portray the Taliban as the good guys in the war.
Accurate, brief and clear – the ABCs of good writing.
