Ex-hostage hires bounty hunters ( short but sweet)

A HOSTAGE held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.

Swede Ulf Hjertstrom, who was held for several weeks with Mr Wood in Baghdad, was released by his kidnappers on May 30.

Mr Hjertstrom has since claimed he shared information with US and Iraqi troops about Mr Wood which led to the release of the 63-year-old Australian engineers two weeks ago, after 47 days in captivity.

Now, he wants to find those responsible.

"I have now put some people to work to find these bastards," he told the Ten Network today.

"I invested about $50,000 so far and we will get them one by one."

Why doesn't GWB "Privatize" the War like this guy did?

[wideawake]

That's the most rational response by an ex-hostage I've heard yet.

Satisfying and productive.

" . . . we will get them one by one."

Sounds good to me.

Wow! This is great. Why not just pay people to help us find this SOB's?

I think there is a Reality show in there somewhere.

I wish more people had his attitude.

Why doesn't GWB do a lot of things?..

..like close the borders...see that the filibuster of all nominees are history, see that govt spending is cut, stop being so politically correct, and wage a proper war on extreme islam...et al..

...The President is driving me nuts trying to win a war by talking our enemy to death....and negotating with people who have no honor.

You are preaching to the choir. I emailed the White House yesterday with those basic complaints. I suggested that if he needs any additional COMMON SENSE recommendations that he telephone me!

Just In! Dick Durban and Charlie Rangel asked the Justice Department to arrest Mr Hjertstrom for not letting Federal Law Enforcement Officials arrest the kidnappers. Mr Rangel said, "The kidnappers have constitutional rights and a warrant for their arrest should be issued, and we should wait for them to turn themselves in." The ACLU, also condemned Mr Hjertstrom for violating the civil rights of Muslim's, "How does the man know if he was kidnapped? This was freedom of expression by the oppressed Arab people."

(If you believe any of the above is true, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Just typing what I wouldn't put past these people to actually happen. Their mentality.
