#1 Merkel said a ransom payment was not being discussed at the moment for Susanne Osthoff [snip] If a ransom was demanded, he predicted the government would pay up.

What else is to say here?

#2 One German diplomat said, however, that if someone like Zarqawi was behind the kidnapping then Osthoffâs chances of emerging unscathed were diminished.

Only that this guy is clueless. As a Muslim convert and backed up by a rich, dhimmi gov't that advertises its desperation, Osthoff's chances actually look pretty good.

#3 Let's hope they have the brains at least to mark the money so that it's traceable.

#4 Of course they want to pay.

It's hard to believe that the germans ever had enough BALLS to be Nazis.

#5 Ahhh... Another fund-raiser for the terrs. Just as I thought, seeing that she is a convert and has been working in Iraq for fifteen years.
Yeah, I'm a cynic... it's another term for good pattern recognition.
