There are people (civilians) in Iraq who habitually ignore the military with respect to safe areas to travel, and go off alone without security. Every civilian over there has been briefed multiple times about where they can travel, how they should travel, and WHEN they should travel. There are people who insist on having their own conversations and negotiations with Iraqis, looking for that "big story" that will make their career. The security contractors are VERY careful; even more so after the ambush of those who (while ignoring advice) when off with Iraqis on their own. There are people at the Pentagon who are very concerned that some people just turn up 'kidnapped', with cameras ready to roll, reporters from Al-Jazerra standing by to shove microphones in their face the moment the incident occurs. I don't know the facts about this guy personally; I only mentioned what others have said to me about there being suspicions. We do know that the Japanese 'hostages' were just activists who were never in danger, who failed to get what they wanted because Kozumi hung tough.

I have my suspicions, but I dont have facts for you.
