Ann's better looking! Just kidding. Give her a few years fbl. Although too much of a hammer for some, she does call 'em as she sees 'em! Doesn't lack for brains either, she did law clerk for Scalia and also ran her law review at UM-law. Oriana, RIP, was a journalist who came to see vivid reality after 9-11. I especially remember reading the piece she wrote during OEF- it was spot on. On the other hand, and IMO, Ann appears to have "seen it" since I have known of her. B2 Sure. Ann’s better looking!

On the other hand, and IMO, Ann appears to have “seen it” since I have known of her.

She was put in the preposterous situation of having to change clothes in the same room with her translator, but since they weren't married that wasn't allowable... so Khomeini's thugs insisted they get married. Fallaci wasn't going along with that, and the poor translator was terrified because he looked to be the loser no matter which way the day went. In the interview itself, she returned again and again to the chador, exasperating Khomeini. Finally, he acknowledged that only Muslim women need wear it, not kufr. "Good," she said, and tore it off. And yet Khomeini returned to complete the interview as noted, and before she was done he was even smiling. Oriana, the Catholic atheist, Dona nobis pacem.
