PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- Two Czech television journalists on assignment in Iraq have been missing since Monday morning and are believed to have been kidnapped, a spokesman for their network said.

Czech Television, a public station, has not heard from Martin Kubal, a reporter, and Petr Klima, a cameraman, since the early hours of Monday, said spokesman Martin Krafl.

He said that unconfirmed reports indicated the two were kidnapped as they were traveling from Baghdad to Amman, Jordan.

So far, they've been pretty careful about hurting journalists.........

Appeasement works its wonders again. Paul Bremer, the third,
25 year veteran of the diplomatic corps, i.e., the State Department, and his bosses and minions handwring and sweat over militants' feelings while thugs and criminals roam at will. The response is to hold a press conference and bluster. Bremer, the third, strides on the stage wearing combat boots and a three piece suit- that'll scare 'em. It's like having Thurston Howell III of Gilligan's Island making Iraqi policy, only without Gilligan's courage and intelligence.

OK, now we can add the Czech Republic to the list of countries the insurgents are alienating.

So now it's...

America
Britain
Japan
Canada
Israel (Arab Israeli)
Turkey
Pakistan
India
Nepal
Phillipines
China
Czech Republic

Let me know if I'm missing anyone.

All I can say is that it seems the more the libs (Kerry/Clarke et al) ratchet up the anti-Bush, anti-war rhetoric, the more we have seen the reactions of the "insurgents"...Fallujah, kidnappings, etc. When will the blame be placed at the feet of these traitors whose words place our troops, the reporters and contractors in further peril?

"When will the blame be placed at the feet of these traitors ...."

We'd have to take over the media .......

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Good point.

I heard a journalist today say that he doesn't carry ID and speaks French (and so do others, if they can) whenever he gets stopped, because the terrorists in Iraq leave the French alone.
What does THAT tell you?
