Another dewy-eyed revolutionary. That explains why she thought she could travel into Syria with impunity--she was one of them.

But let the canonization begin. As Barack said, “Kayla dedicated her life to helping others in need at home and around the world.... Kayla represents what is best about America, and expressed her deep pride in the freedoms that we Americans enjoy, and that so many others strive for around the world.... Kayla Mueller used these freedoms she so cherished to improve the lives of others.”

Curious, isn't it, how the speechwriter left out the part about rioting with the Palestinians? Maybe it scrolled too fast off the Teleprompter.

Thanks for the link! I certainly don't agree with what would appear to be antagonistic views on her part towards Israel and the West. I guess I still appreciate the fact that she had a heart for others, even if it was tainted by a misguided compassion for those who would seek to achieve their political and religious goals through terrorism.

A life lost is always bad though, so I still pray for her family.
