Oh this is the idiot who brought weed to a foreign country, and we had to rescue her ass and hand over the merchant of death to Russia because of her. Why is she doing interviews instead of going home and fading into obscurity so we don't have to see her idiot face anymore?

We didn't release Victor Bout to save her. We released him so he could do some task for the CIA. She was just an excuse.
