RENEE

Posted at 7:19 a.m. ET

A number of readers have remarked on the outstanding work done by Renee Nielsen during the tragic hours of the Mumbai siege.  Her dispatches added depth and insight to our reports. 

Renee is president of Republicans Abroad in India.  As you've seen, she's intelligent, lucid and highly perceptive.  Here's a picture of her taken at an Indian festival in September.  Now you can associate a face with the name.

Renee's father, by the way, is a retired Air Force pilot who flew F4 Phantoms during the Vietnam War.  He was retrained to fly F16s and became a member of the Minnesota Air National Guard, based in Duluth.  He retired from the Air Guard as vice commander of the 148th Fighter Group.   

We look forward to hearing more from Renee.
