Is that a real name: Camella Shmela? I find no google hits for this person. Taylor Luck does seem to be working for the Jordan Times.
I sincerely hope they show up soon and have just been pallin' around in Aleppo.
Also the girl's name is misspelled in all the reports: Its Holli Chmela and she works for the NY Times.
Well being an Israeli -tho working for a US paper- in a place like Lebanon is not too smart. Chmela should not have been there to begin with. there have been many cases of Israelis doing just this kind of thing, then returning to Israel with the intel they have gathered.
Anonymous-- how do you know Chmela is Israeli? I doubt that.
