#1 Unfortunately, the boys are with al Qaeda, and they don't give a damn about humanity.

#2 Dunno. "Olaf and Steve have always worked for the interests of the Palestinian people."

There was a joke going on when I was a teenager. People assumed that China would go on conquest at some point and we would write, after it's all done, in our CVs: "I loved rice since I was a toddler".

I have a sort of an agreement with my wife that in the case either of us would end up being held as a hostage by jihadis, we would ask for bombing the place if its location would be known (embedded chip may be usefull in that regard). Of course, chances of us being held hostages are pretty slim, but one never knows, them jihadis are infesting all over, bare Antarctica and Greenland.

As if that ever mattered.

#4 They came here to support you by telling your ~~stories~~ lies.

Any sympathy I had for them just dissapeared.

#6 Olaf and Steve have always worked for the interests of the Palestinian people.

Could I recall that their employer is Fox News NOT the Palestinian people and that Fox News viewers expect the TRUTH not Palestinian propaganda?

#7 *My* family would be under strict orders to go on every talk show in an attitude of defiance, to heap curses upon my captors and under no condition may they beg, grovel, plead, or cry.

#8 "#7 *My* family would be under strict orders to go on every talk show in an attitude of defiance, to heap curses upon my captors and under no condition may they beg, grovel, plead, or cry."

I generally agree though in this case, Steve and Olaf would be returned to their respective families ... one piece at a time.

#9 Captives are friends of Palestinians --- and are recipients of Palestinian gratitude.

#10 Gentlemen, please cut the lady some slack.

Her husband is being held hostage by a bunch of homicidal, sexually infantile shitwits with guns. If someone I loved was being held in similar circumstances, yeah, I'd probably say whatever they wanted to keep my loved ones alive. That doesn't mean I would believe a word of it.

And yes, saw it happen with domestic barricade situations. One parent holds the kid at gunpoint...the other might make a taped statement saying "It's ok, we still all love you, we want to help you, blah blah blah...". Once the kid is released and the suspect is in custody, they turn tiger. She may be doing the same thing for all we know.

It's easy to make tough statements about the situation if you aren't personally involved with it. She is. If they kill her husband and Mr Centanni, we'll all pretty much forget about it next month. She never will.

My heart goes out to her, and I hope Mr Centanni and Mr Wiig are released soon, and safely, to their loved ones.
