Diane Macedo of Fox News worked on Sofia's story for more than a month,
studying documents, interviewing more than a dozen people, and fact-checking
before publishing her news story on Monday and airing our interview.
Here is the link to the Fox News on-camera interview.
This morning, on Monday, she also published a detailed article on Sofia:
▸ Fox News Story on Sofia's Abduction to Syria
When Sofia returns safely home, she will pay her first visit to Diane at Fox
News headquarters in New York City.
▸ US Leaves Its Youngest Citizen Behind Syria
I already wrote two blog posts on Sofia's status in Syria. Both posts were
read by Washington, by our Embassy in Damascus, Syria, as well as the Syrian
government both here in DC and in Damascus.
▸ Open Letter to the President of Syria Bashar al-Assad
▸ Open Letter to the First Lady of Syria Asma al-Assad

This is more like a long Tweet than a short blog entry.
Personal issues aside Mark Hurd was a brilliant CEO for HP and he will be
remembered as one of the greatest CEOs HP ever had. Like the rest of the

to a brilliant start when - within days of getting the job - he put together
an internal group of PhD economists specialized in game theory who developed
a system that saved HP billions of dollars in purchases.
Wikipedia defines game theory as "attempts to mathematically capture behavior

Please read the news story below filed today by my colleague Maureen O'Gara
and think about the once-in-a-life-time lottery ticket this man had last
February with Microsoft's acquisition offer, and then again through Carl
Icahn's unasked-for help.
He blew it and in my Wikipedia, this man is the dictionary definition of an
IDIOT!
This is what this man (this one) deserves. First Icahn should beat him up,

the judge should ship him to th... (more)

I live 11 minutes away from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Friday evening I
took a Cessna Caravan for a short 45-minute flight to Martha's Vineyard. This
was my first trip to the island. I didn't do any research and had false
expectations based on my long-time love affair with the island of Cat Cay in

100,000 during... (more)
