Right, lets see how you gyes deal with a hostage crisis....

I agree that it sucks to be you right now but it is not America that removed the UK's testicles. You lot did that to yourselves and lashing out at us will not help you find and reattach them. So buck up, get it sorted, and do it for Queen and country (or something like that). Cheerio!

Weakness begets weakness. That's why we have to stand up to the thugs in the first place. It might "seem" more humanitarian and sensible to negotiate for hostages in each case, but every time we do, it leads to more incidents.

Did you ever get a response to this?

I don't see this story anywhere else. It would be big if it's real.

Very true. But I doubt if the US media will chastise Tony Blair if he calls them “hostages”.

from article:

The 31 American citizens are kept incommunicado awaiting presidential orders, reported the source. It is believed that charges of spying or to be part of the CIA will be levied against them.

The group is composed by medical doctors, nurses and religious individuals.

Touchy today, aren't we? A little difference between civilians arrested in a country and military personnel outside a country surrendering without a fight.

Neither did you see the scandal behind Sequoia and Smartmatic, until more than one year after I exposed them; neither did you see the raid on a Caracas Jewish School; neither did you hear Hugo Chavez ordering the assassination of innocent people...

Even after Chavez starts lopping off heads of his opposition the Rats will continue with their blinders on. You know this time when the crap hits the fan, unlike WWII, maybe we should just say forget about it. I guess that cynical approach teaches us all a lesson.
