Another captor, who described himself as the group's head of internal intelligence, told the men that the Islamic Army has four enemies: American and coalition troops, ``their collaborators, that is to say Italian businessmen, or even French,'' as well Iraqi police and spies.
Malbrunot wrote that the Islamic Army has 15,000 to 17,000 members and that its hostage-takings are carefully organized.
``There are those who stop people on the roads, those that carry out interrogations, those that keep guard and those that judge,'' he wrote.
He and fellow French reporter Christian Chesnot feared at times that they would be killed, he said.
Others hostages they saw who were later decapitated included two Macedonians, an Iraqi power station executive and a bodyguard for Ahmad Chalabi, a candidate in next month's Iraqi elections and a one-time Pentagon favorite, he recounted.
Malbrunot, 41, and Chesnot, 38, were released Tuesday.
In a separate interview on RTL radio, Malbrunot said it would take time to recover from their ordeal. ``Sleeping, for example, is hard,'' he said.
``But the life of a free man is far easier than that of a hostage,'' he added.
Yep, terrorism started when Bush became President.
I guess all those acts over the prior 30 years were just figments of our imagination.
All I have to say is 15 to 17,000 more to go. Course it's probably more like 750.
".......that is to say Italian businessmen, or even French,'' as well Iraqi police and spies."
"or EVEN French".......EVEN puts the frogs in perspective, doesn't it?
That makes a lot of sense:
"We want Bush because he will stay here and kill us, we don't want Kerry because he would leave us alive."
It will also boost the number of Dead Rebels as well.
To the Terrorists: Should have been careful what you wished for-you got it! Enjoy....... You masochists!
French. Journalists. 'Nuff said. LOL
Shortest read ever. ;-)

My Bravo Sierra meter is pegged on this one.
"Malbrunot, 41, and Chesnot, 38, were released Tuesday."
This may just be coincidence, but these 2 were held for 4 months and released on the same day as the mosul suicide bombing.
Where were they when they were captured again?
And I'll wager (to the captors since they aren't identified), that said captors will be dead soon.

Well if you want to continue enjoying that free and easy life, Malbrunot, you'd better start working night and day to strengthen the Western Alliance and its support for President Bush!

Sounds to me like a mix of Arab bluster and empty boasting with Stockholm Syndrome on the part of the frog journalists.
Remember the time of the run-up to Gulf War 1, when Saddam Hussein boasted that American and coalition forces would drown in an ocean of their own blood? It's part of the Rags' ridiculous honor/shame culture to make outrageous boasts when facing an enemy.
15,000 to 17,000? Probably more like 1500 to 1700.
When I was in grade school, there was this girl who every time she would lose a game or get a bad grade, she would say, "I lost on purpose cause I didn't want to play anymore.
Same thing with these terrorists.
If Bush would have lost on Nov. 2, they would still be celebrating in the streets thinking that is was THEM that caused him to lose.
And not a one with the guts to put on a uniform and face the American army man to man. Kidnapping and killing civilians are the trade of cowards and psychopaths.
i guess nobody ever told these goathumpers to be careful what you wish for, cause you might just get it... Dubya AKBAR!!!
Yeah,..sure...your cause is getting more popular guys.
Beside, I wouldn't believe a frog if he told me milk was white.
Naturally these frenchies have the common sense possessed by a ping pong ball in determining that perhaps their captors weren't using them as willing stooges that they beg to be. Nahhh!!
``But the life of a free man is far easier than that of a hostage,'' he added.
Interesting, but the lives of millions of free men aren't better than millions of 'hostages.' I'm puzzled....
Odd the French hostages are often released.
That must be why Osama bin Laden made that video where he promised to blow up only red states.
