I can't help but think of the AP reporter, I believe it was AP, who was allowed to film an execution carried out by the terrorists. This sounds like such agitprop.

I'm sure he is being forced to say these things. The threat of beheading will do that to you, I guess.
But who is he? I wonder when he was kidnapped. It mentions a beard, as if he may have been in captivity for some time.
And he got a taste of US wrath via President Reagan's grapes.
And he heard what President Bush said. Kaddafi doesn't want a repeat.
An aside, Kaddafi allgedly called the Soviets and said "Don't send surface-to-air missles, send surface-to-airplane missles." Apocrophia, obviously, but funny.

The name sounds familiar. Is he one of the KBR employees that were involved in the same attack as Tommy Hamil?
They still have one missing person but I can't remember his name.

You may be right. I thought the name sounded familiar, too.
"I'm sure he is being forced to say these things."
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
Is Dan Rather working for Reuters now?

Roy Hallums, a worker for a Saudi company that does catering for the Iraqi army, was seized Nov. 1 along with two other foreigners and three Iraqis after a gunbattle in the upscale Mansour neighborhood. An Iraqi guard and one attacker were killed.
(Hallums is the correct spelling.)
Ah well given the evidence..."speaking with the barrel of an assault rifle just inches from his head." I'd say you could safely make that bet.
""I'm not asking for any help from President Bush because I know of his selfishness and unconcern to those who've been pushed into this hell hole," he says."
He's a contractor, so he "volunteered" to go. Can't blame Pres. Bush for his ending up in Iraq.
Denny Crane: "I look to two things. First to God and then to Fox News."
Can somebody dig up something on his name?
I would not assume that.
Other hostages have obviously spouted whatever the bastard terrorists have told them to say.
Before they were beheaded.
May god help this man.
He's dead. Write him off now.
If he hated Bush so much and agree that the islamic leaders are working in his favor i dont beleive that he would have stepped up and said he would go to Iraq and help with Bush's plan to reconstruct the country. Number two their gonna kill him anyway just to make Bush look heartless and hateful because of the made up comment. May Jesus Christ have mercy on his life.
Agreed.
Roy Hallums daughter has set up a website in honor of her father who is currently being held hostage in Iraq. Roy was taken hostage November 1, 2004 along with another hostage who's fate is unknown, Filipino Roberto Tarongoy. The mainstream media has not caught onto Roy Hallums' story except for a brief appearance on Good Morning America just before Christmas. read more here: Roy Hallums website.
