Dang... That picture along with what I've read reminds me of the incredibly vast differences among the terrorists and the rest of the world.
Here we have an educated young man, someone who can contribute to the world. His captors... maddrassa brainwashed animals bent on savagery. I wish we could all wake up to the fact that we are GOD's children and that in 2004 we should live like it. Athiests.. minimally we are all human beings, all sons and daughters, all neighbors...
I do pray for Mr. Kim Sun il, and his family. My cynical side tells me that the terrorists decided his fate the day they took him.
