YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Malkin's reaction to the Giuliana Sgrena debacle:

I expect we'll soon hear Eason Jordan say the U.S. military is targeting hostages.

If this happened as is being reported - i.e. the car was speeding towards a checkpoint and was repeatedly warned to stop - the soldiers are blameless; for being so predictable and twisting the knife after a tragedy like this, Malkin is not.

But let's not forget: Michelle doesn't believe Sgrena was abducted in the first place. I guess the secret service agent who negotiated her release died in vain.
