"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.

Not possible. The interviewer directly asked he what she would like to say to her father's captors...and this was the response, to them.

The iraqi's he was trying to help are apparently the Iraqi's who the US is hunting, IMO

Not to butt in, but he's offering his head.

Exactly. The U.S. military is there, in part, for the same stated reasons. We're there (among other reasons) to do the work they (the good Iraqis) would like to see done.
Perhaps the inflection changes the meaning, Jeff, but this quote seems completely compatible with our mission in Iraq.
