There was quite an industry going on with these kidnappings.

Much of the money for the Madhi Army and the various Insurgent groups comes from kidnappings.

Not many, just the firing mechanism for the nuke they're building.

France, Germany and Italy paid about $45 million Nothing like putting a target on the backs of other French, German and Italian visitors in Iraq. In fact, if I was Al Quaeda, I'd go outside Iraq and target them knowing that their governments pay handsomely.

If it's cash, it was probably a good move. Today's currency is made to be traceable, especially in big wads. Great tracking device.

No one in Iraq should allow themselves to be kidnapped.
Anyone working there should carry a few cyanide caps .
Better than becoming such a funds source that will result in the deaths of so many others . We all have to die anyway, what is there to be so attached to , at any cost?
Just go already if that seems to be your fate , you have to come back anyway....

Pretty easy to say that...until it applies to yourself.

Was there ever any doubt? Helluva way to have to fight a war.

So The EUSSR has been lying about this for years. I'm sure that the US media, which the left claims is so conservative, will make this headline news tonight. < /sarc >

The only way the MSM media will cover it will be if Bush mentions it in a speech. Wish he would so that we could have an international dialog about cow towing to terrorist kidnappers.

That is so sad to hear.
Arming them with enough to buy whole armies there...
To: jmc1969
Yep.
Proper headline: Germany, France, and Italy fund terrorists.

That's enough to buy enormous amounts of explosives for booby traps and suicide bombings.
