I don't know kidnapped Canadian photojournalist Amanda Lindhout, currently being held hostage in Afghanistan but I do correspond with people who have been to Afghanistan. If we were in her situation, we would want all the world to know would we not?

Amanda Lindhout is a journalist with significant experience abroad. She's filed stories from Iraq on behalf of Iranian TV station Press TV. Here's a story she filed for the Red Deer Advocate on the Kibera slum in Nairobi Kenya.

She's also taken a series of breathtaking photos in Afghanistan and is a fellow LIGHTSTALKERS member.

In my mind, knowing about Amanda Lindhout and keeping her situation front and center is much more important. We all need to ramp up the noise on this one.
