This is an actual and unmodified picture of former German hostage Susanne Osthoff as she appeared on German TV soon after being released from muslim hostage takers in Iraq. That's right this is a freed hostage. Many have speculated that ransom and/or prisoner swap was done to gain her release.

"In the interview's introduction, the presenter explained that Osthoff's choice of dress was suposedly intended to preserve her identity --a bizarre thought considering that Osthoff's face has been all over the front-pages since November and most people in Germany must be quite aware of what she looks like. Besides, she didn't wear a headdress in her interview with Arab broacaster Al-Jazeera earlier this week."
Just looking for attention and $$$.

So, what are they doing now? Sending sympathizers in to be "captured" and traded in for the release of captured terrorists and/or the handover of cash?

Germany doesn't have enough Muslims? Think that they could spare this one to her adopted people.

The term willing hostage comes to mind. Along with hoax and scam.

Nonsense. Germany wouldn't give in to terrorists, not for one minute. Arrrgh!

I think a lot of people are pondering this theory.

You know, I am of German descent. I have to say, I am very ashamed of the way Germans act now. They have gone from ultra warlike to being such pushovers.
Alright -- I'll say it. They have become FRENCH!
