Kate Burton, pro-Palestinian "human rights" activist gets kidnapped

Here's a link to the story about the young Brit working as a human rights activist on behalf of the Palestinians who got KIDNAPPED: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,180253,00.html

The irony is on 2 levels:
1) She was so concerned about the "human rights" of a community that thrives on kidnapping. Perhaps she endured some poetic justice for not also advocating on behalf of those who have suffered kidnapping (and worse) at the hands of the Palestinians.

2) The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Here they had some young gal from the West advocating on their behalf and somebody in the Palestinian terror network failed to read the memo about leaving people like her alone. I guess the Palestinians can use this to counter Israeli accusations that there is an organized Palestinian terror network.
