MCC's activities and publications reveal a highly politicized and anti-Israel agenda, including campaigning against the Israeli security barrier while ignoring Palestinian terror and providing links to highly politicized NGOs, including PENGON and the "Stop the Wall Campaign". MCC's "Peace Office Newsletter" produced by the organization's Middle East leadership, contains highly vitriolic attacks on Israel, while claiming that the views of the authors do not necessarily reflect those of the MCC. Newsletter contains contributions from radical anti-Israel NGOs, including the Palestinian Authority affiliated Applied Research Institute and Jeff Halper from the highly politicized Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, with other links to highly politicized NGOs Al-Haq, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, the Electronic Intifada, the Stop the Wall Campaign, LAW - a leading NGO at Durban conference, ad-Dameer, a Palestinian prisoners' rights organization, and al-Awda, an NGO promoting the Palestinian 'right of return' and destruction of Israel.

I'm not mocking him - he died proving my point: You can't defend our nation by treating terrorists as reasonable people. Why just the other day one of Clinton's State Dept. officials said that we need to listen to Bin Laden and see that he may have a point.
They're probably "saddened" because he didn't strap explosives to himself and take a few Jews with him.
After Giuliana Sgrena and Susanne Osthoff, I am kind of suspicious of these supporters of the Islamic "activists" who wind up getting themselves kidnapped. It has been well established that the kidnappings of both Sgrena and Osthoff were put-up jobs, where the women were more or less allied with their captors, who profited hansomely from the ransom.
