Very interesting! Full text of article on post #54.

Big news brewing in Japan?

Excerpt:

Despite large public anti-war demonstrations and tearful pleas from relatives of the hostages, the public has been strongly backing Koizumi's tough stance.

Now, a steady stream of news, much of it leaked from governmental sources, is hinting that the first three hostages may have faked their kidnapping. If and when these suspicions becomes provable, the public backlash in Japan against the anti-war left could be fearsome, and drive Japan’s foreign policy even further toward muscular collaboration with American defense efforts. Given Japan’s formidable economic and technological resources , the coalition of the willing would benefit substantially for a long time to come.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

I didn't read the whole thread, but this bullet of faked kidnapping really got my attention.

Who was to benefit from the fake?
