Reminds me of the Japanese "hostages" who turned out to be co-conspirators--as I mentioned on another thread. (And was criticized for doing so.)
No Loss,it was just a reporter.
This happened about year ago.
Freepers will like the fact that about 75% of Japanese told them to get out of their face, to go ______ up a rope, when the "hostages" did get back to Japan. They were also fined by the conservative Government of Japan for the costs they incurred, and the three have since kept their anti-US, pro-Communist, pro-Islamofascist mouths SHUT! :-)
