    That’s not Brian Conley, he’s not even English and he didn’t even tell a single joke ;p

    wait, he was a shi’ite, and he was kidnapped by shi’ite militia? damn…. you know things are unstable when a sectarian militia kidnaps a member of it’s own sect. good to hear that he was returned alive, though.

  11. New Update from Brian’s wife (cross posted to Thursday’s comment thread):

    Hello all,

    We just got word that Brian and friends are on a plane to Los Angeles, arriving Monday morning. He was released with 7 other US citizen detainees: Jeff Goldin, Tom Grant, Mike Liss, James Powderly, Jeff Rae, John Watterberg and Jeremy Wells.

    They have been released 6 days early, largely (we believe) because of political pressure and media attention that forced the US Embassy to take action.

    The fate of the other 2 international detainees, Florian Norbu Gyanatshang a Tibetan with German citizenship, and Mandie McKeown from Britain, is not clear. Please feel free to call their respective embassies and urge their immediate release. For more info on phone numbers and other action steps, see the Free Tibet 2008 website.

    There are other important steps we can take to make sure that their detention gets the international attention it deserves and that the underlying cause — freedom for the people of Tibet — is advanced. We can keep putting pressure on media to tell the real story of the Olympics in China. We can continue to raise awareness about the oppression and violence in Tibet. We can work to support independent media, so we actually get to hear these stories.

  14. Pop star Madonna kicked off her international “Sticky and Sweet” tour. Sticky & Sweet, oh Madonna still trying to shock your 11-year old fans? That title is definitely not hot!
