Giuliana Sgrena, an unembedded Italian journalist, was not kidnapped by the Iraqi resistance. If you read her stories, you will immediately realize the Iraqi resistance had absolutely no reason to abduct her. Giuliana Sgrena wrote about the suffering of the Iraqi people under occupation. ?Suffering daily abuses and violence from occupation forces or their proxies, the Iraqis themselves are subjected to routine hostage-taking by the occupiers,? writes Stefano Chiarini, Il Manifesto correspondent in Baghdad.

?This type of kidnapping distorts and defames the resistance of the Iraqi people against the American occupation,? said Sheik Abdel Salam al Qubaisi of the Association of Islamic Scholars, a Sunni organization. For his effort on Sgrena?s behalf, Sheik Ali al Jabouri, a member of the Association of Islamic Scholars, was arrested by Allawi?s goons.

Sgrena worked for Il Manifesto, an Italian leftist newspaper, and she was ?among the founders of the peace movement,? according to her biography on the Il Manifesto web site. ?Giuliana was in Iraq to witness the plight of innocent Iraqi people and show to the world that the invasion of Iraq by US forces has brought nothing positive but more pain, sufferings and tragedies for ill-fated civilians. As a freedom-loving Italian journalist she wanted to uncover those aspects of the life of Iraqi children, women and men that are usually ignored by other known Western media,? writes Rawa (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) for Bellaciao.
