Xeni Jardin: French blogger and journalist Emmannuelle Richard posts an appeal for the release of the two french journalists, Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot, currently held hostage in Iraq:

Back from a family, Internet-free vacation. Still, I was worn down by the news of the kidnapping of two French journalists and colleagues of RFI and Radio France in Iraq: I only know them by e-mail, because they belong to Spartacus, a group of world correspondents for francophone radio stations that I co-founded in 2000. C hristian gave an interview to Larry King on CNN in March 2003. Everybody in the network is just praying for their safe release. Here is Spartacus' press release, sent out while I was away...
