Amanda Lindhout

She looks in remarkably good shape for having been held captive for 15 months with very little food / water...

Also, there was a media report recently that internet rumours circulating at the time of her captivity, detailing a possible pregnancy were unfounded. Most likely, it can be chalked up to propaganda on the part of the terrorists.
 
Interesting piece in the Star today about Amanda Lindhout, the woman who was kidnapped in Somalia:

It may sound harsh, but I get the sense Amanda is a little bit nutty.

So she comes home to Canada tonight on a Government Challenger jet at our expense. Sorry, but wtf. She goes to these shit places, no sane person would go, gets kidnapped, and we have to pay for it. I am sorry, no sympathy from an unemployed born Canadian. They should have shot her. Sorry, I sound like and asshole.

Sounds like the soldiers we send to Afghanistan !
 
she's a character that's for sure.

I hate to say it but if she was held captive for that long she must have been abused both emotionally and sexually.

That's a tough price to pay for journalistic integrity.
 
U for real? I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but hot is a bit of a stretch don't you think?

standards r a bit high eh? i think it depends on what were talking about. if your comparing her to a victoria's secrets model..obvious...she's not there. it just depends....

but she is pretty good looking.
