Kidnappers of four Christian peace activists including two Canadians threatened to kill them unless all Iraqi prisoners are released from Iraqi and U.S. prisons, according to a new tape broadcast Saturday.
Al-Jazeera TV aired a tape dated Jan. 21 showing Canadians James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden, along with an American and a British co-worker. The four members of the Chicago-based Christian Peacemaker Teams disappeared in Baghdad on Nov. 26.

Ya know, if we started refering to islam's victims as Christian Martyrs, it might give them pause...

It's my understanding that these people are less "Christian missionaries" and more "pro-terrorist 'peace activists.'" If they're killed, they're being killed by their friends.

this group has had about as many "last chances" as some aging rock groups have had "farewell tours".

Looks like the terrorists were not impressed with Christian Peacemaker's "Adopt-a-Detainee" program. So they decide to pick them up on the street when they were trying to reduce violence by "Getting in the Way". I am having a real hard time feeling sorry for these people.

The previously unknown Swords of Righteous Bridges claimed responsibility for kidnapping them and demanded the release of Iraqi prisoners. This just in from SRB: In lieu of prisoners we will accept cash. Please do not mark the bills as we share with our hostages.

That's their website. And pro-terrorist is a diplomatic way of putting it.
