(Al-Sabah al-Jadeed) Reliable sources informed the paper that the two French journalists kidnapped by armed groups a few months ago are west of Anbar province near the borders. The sources added that the journalists and their kidnappers move freely, and it seems the journalists have adjusted themselves with their kidnappers. The source, which is close to the so-called Muhammads Army, said the journalists wear local clothes and sometimes film military operations conducted by gunmen.
(Al-Sabah al-Jadeed is an independent daily paper.)

If they weren't French, I would say they had that syndrome. Can't think of the name, but a Freeper will know. The syndrome happens to people who have been kidnapped and start identifying with their captors.
But again these guys are French and probably just figured "what the heck?"

Well, they are French, I'm not surprised.

The French have a long history of accommodating, adjusting, and adapting to the forces of evil.
To: Wonderama
You're thinking of Stockholm Syndrome.

In the light of so many new genes found, I'm wondering if the French have so called Stockholm Syndrome gene...

"If they weren't French, I would say they had that syndrome. Can't think of the name, but a Freeper will know. The syndrome happens to people who have been kidnapped and start identifying with their captors."
That would be the Helsinki Syndrome.
