On every blog, an Iraq angle must bloomPolitics

Here's ours. The strange tale of the Indian hostages as interpretted by The Acorn -

Fears that Iraqi insurgents do not follow Bollywood scripts and hence not play tango with the Indian government's hostage negotiation strategy were unfounded. Shiekh Dulaimi, an Iraqi do-gooder who is 'helping' in the negotiations has just demanded that Hindi film icons of yesteryears make an appeal for the release of the Indian truck drivers the Iraqi kidnappers are holding hostage. Before this is over, it would not be a surprise if Hema Malini is asked to dance over broken shards of glass while singing that famous song from Sholay. Thanks to all these bizarre twists and turns, the hostage drama is fast reducing into a farce, or so it would appear.
