Mia Farrow Offers to Be Held in Sudan

Aug 6, 7:47 PM (ET)

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Actress Mia Farrow has offered to give up her freedom so that an ailing Darfur rebel leader can get safe passage out of a hospital, according to a letter the celebrity activist wrote to Sudan's president and posted Monday on her Web site.

Suleiman Jamous, a moderate who has been a key link between Darfur rebels and aid workers in the war-torn Sudanese region, needs to leave the country for further medical care, Farrow said in the letter to President Omar al-Bashir, dated Sunday.

Jamous, suffering from abdominal problems, has been at a U.N. hospital outside Darfur. The U.N. has said he is free to leave, but he fears arrest or government reprisals if he does.

...

Humanitarian workers considered Jamous the leader who could best guarantee the safety of aid convoys, which often come under attack in the region. Activists also say Jamous could help restart negotiations between rebel groups and the government after last year's peace deal largely failed to end the violence

5. So I'm the only one who can't stand her.

Oh, well. I look at things like how the married kids didn't show up for her birthday, how the younger ones were caught shoplifting, how a young girl of 21 "never had a boyfriend" until she walked off with her "mother"'s boyfriend.

I look at her changing her children's NAMES when she was angry at their father. And I look at an accusation of child-molesting that never appeared until AFTER Soon Yi left with Woody.

And I smell an odor that is not sanctity.

6. You're not alone

She's had a history of such things going back way before Woody. She chased after Sinatra till she caught him, even cutting off all her hair in the process. After he tired of her he sent a lackey to her movie set present her with divorce papers. Then she proceeded to be the homewrecker in André Previn's marriage.

If Woody had been a child molester, he'd have been hanging around schoolyards long before he ever knew Mia. He had zero interest in children prior to that. Pedophilia doesn't begin in middle age.

She's poisoned his own child's mind against him. Once Woody's gone his son will have to read the biographies to find out who his father was.

4. OK ... that woman has some serious stones

I mean, huge ones. If someone knows of a more deliberate demonstration of raw courage and moral strength I would certainly like to know about it. Wow.
