" 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"?

...or, he is truly a comvicted peace activist that wants no violence in any way. That's fine for him...but real life tells us in words that speak with utter violence us that there are those who will do abject and total vilencve against any they come acroiss unless there is an equally strong force keeping them from doing so.

Thank God we have so many willing to stand in the breach to protect the innocent (which this guy is not) and the free who would otherwise be the prey of such criminals as the terrorists we fight against.

It's happened before. Phoney hostage-taking. More publicity for them, blah blah, woof woof. Nothing to lose, since the US media won't 'out' them if/when proof of fraud and complicity come to light.
