Thought folks here on FR who did not see it would be interested in this.

[Jeff Head]

FYI...just saw this interview.

[doug from upland]

Not one soldier had better die in a rescue attempt.

[GeronL]

In essence, from this interview, it is clear that the so called, Christian, peace activist mission, is a mission to support the enemy

well, duh

[decal]

" He specifically stated that if taken hostage he did not want US or Iraqi forces to attempt his rescue with any use of force..."

Now why would someone say this beforehand - unless he was there TO be "taken hostage" and subsequently "ransomed"?

[hosepipe]

If he had any sense he would'nt be a MoonBat..
And an especially deluded and ignorant one, of the forces he is dealing with..

[Cindy]

OPINION: Sad to say, some people need an in-your-face experience to get THE BIG PICTURE as to the enemy we're dealing with. I pray that none of our troops or coalition partners are harmed in any rescue attempts.

ON THE NET...

"I would like to say to them that my father was always very welcome by the Iraqis he was trying to help, that the work that he was there to do is the same work they would like to see done,"

Not to nitpick, Jeff, but is it possible that, by "they," she was referring to "the Iraqis he was trying to help," and not to the kidnappers? I didn't see it so I'll defer to you.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I noticed that the passion was absent from President Bush's voice when he commented that the U.S. would pay no ransom for these kidnapped people. I wonder what the inside info on this scene is. Because the White House worked their butts off to try and get back Daniel Pearl and I heard about $5 million possibly being offered for him.

[American in Israel]

He specifically stated that if taken hostage he did not want US or Iraqi forces to attempt his rescue with any use of force.

A living will if I ever saw one. By all means, respect it. After all Terri was never given half a chance to live.

[RushCrush]

I am saddened by the fact that our brave US Military would and will do everything in their power to save this US citizen.

Every day I am completely amazed at what our military will do for us. And I am so thanksful!

[OrangeBlossomSpecial]

Call me cold-hearted.

Honor his wishes and let him work things out with his captors since he is there to help them and oppose his own country. No need to risk American life to attempt his rescue. He said he didn't want bloodshed on his behalf. He understands the consequences and took the risk of having his head carried out in the basket.

If hundreds more of his kind venture over to Iraq are we to waste men, women, and resources to rescue them?

[LibFreeOrDie]

In case anyone has any doubts about what intentions these "peace" activists have, read these quotes by their leader:

Just flush the toilet.

[Avenger]

"I would like to say to them that my father was always very welcome by the Iraqis he was trying to help, that the work that he was there to do is the same work they would like to see done..."

We should pause before jumping to conclusions. By "they" was she referring to the "Iraqis" or to the terrorist? I think the former is more likely.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

"I would like to say to them that my father was always very welcome by the Iraqis he was trying to help, that the work that he was there to do is the same work they would like to see done"

Gets you no brownie points unless you are a fanatic Muslim too.

In essence, from this interview, it is clear that the so called, Christian, peace activist mission, is a mission to support the enemy....

Christians can be as deluded as anyone else. I don't support this guy one bit. But we are saved by grace. Idiots go to heaven too.

[Alia]

I saw a clip, soundbyte, from the daughter the other night. I was appalled. Then last night, I see the MSM is attempting to turn this daughter's "image" into martyr icon status. Digusting.

[pookie18]

[Casloy]

There is an element that is more infuriating. All foreigners are warned repeatedly that no matter what their motives, living unprotected in Iraq is extremely dangerous. So, now these naifs gets kidnapped and regardless of their earlier statements, the military has to expend time and manpower trying to rescue them; time and manpower that could be better spent getting rid of the threats against Iraqi citizens. It is likely the kidnappers are nothing more than thugs out to make some money.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

While I can respect the strength of the man's convictions,

You know Jeff you must be a better person then I am.

I in no way respect any of these so called "peace" activist. They are evil people who get innocents killed. They aren't stupid, they know exactly what they are doing.

May they be rewarded according to their works.
