#1 Looks like we learned something from dealing with the IRA.

#3 My question is, are these ransom payments included in Iraqi GDP, or are they considered just a transfer?

#4 Iraq should just turn back anyone with a German passport.

#5 Does this mean we can add France and Germany to the list of Terrorist organizations?

After all they are supporting the terrorists.

#6 And in addition to the payment of ransom, there was also all that disgusting psychodrama and acting out (demonstrations, big posters,...) like the LLL/Msm can do so well, in regards to thoses abducted french journalists... who were complete tools (one critical article about one of theses was titled "Malbrunot the friend of the arabs", and detailed his proactively anti-israeli stance while a correspondent in Israel), while their stringers were ex-baathists intelligence agents (now living in France as refugees, at least for one of them and his family).

Oh, and then there was the instrumentalization of that by the muslim authorities in France, which allowed the msm to play the "they're upstanding french citizens" card, with french foreign policy being outsourced to muslim holy men... and also the outcry of sympathy for France by the hizbullah, by yasser arafat, by kaddhaffi,... (shows well where France proudly stands, doens't it?)... the french pols crawling to al azhar or al jizz to gather support from the sunni brass... and the cloak and dagger stuff by the "old boyz" of the French Arab Policy(tm) networks, disavowed by the same Shiraq who sent them...

A real mess, ugly and a source of shame : not only did we pay, but in the process we acted like terrorized dhimmis.
