Gaza group claims kidnapping of Fox journalists Wed Aug 23, 2006 08:58 AM ET

GAZA (Reuters) - A previously unknown militant group in Gaza claimed responsibility on Wednesday for the kidnapping nine days ago of two Fox journalists and demanded the United States release "Muslim prisoners" within 72 hours.

"Release what you have, and we will release what we have," the Holy Jihad Brigades said in a fax sent to reporters.

LOL! 60? That is what I thought when I first heard.

It has been 5 years since September 11, and in my opinion, we have not killed anywhere near enough of them.

How many years since Munich? Not one damned thing has changed except for the wasted years spent trying to make them our friends.

It ain't gonna happen.

I say bomb them all to hell and be done with it.

I know, not practical and innocents would die, but it does express my anger.

This reflects very badly on the palestinians.

This is what the Palestinians ARE. Wake up, world!

These two men were there to try to show the truth
(including the palestians side of things)
IF the palestinians allow these kidnappers to do this...well

They need to release these men now.

his use of the word "fairly"

I hear you, but of course he may just mean that considering he is a kidnap victim, he's okay.

Al Jazeera needs to be removed from the face of the earth.

Let them go back to delivering the news by camel.

You are probably right. I try not to be overly analytical. It's not easy being an armchair member of the press, LOL!

"We are going to exchange the Muslim female and male prisoners in American jails

See there? This shows me they have NO idea of America. There are 100's of 1,000's of Muslim prisoners in American jails. They're just extreme idiots!

In case you missed it, watch the video here:

It is a screen grab from CNN, and you have to wait through part of a commercial before the report comes on.

BTW, the tape was originally released to CNN, not Fox.

Mmmm. This is interesting. One one of the threads(I will look for it) someone said CNN finally did a fair report on this this morning.

CNN did a decent story on the kidnapping this morning. Three or four minutes long, very comprehensive. No snide remarks. Since I hadn't seen anything on the kidnapping in a while on CNN I wondered if it was in response to that column. No news broken in CNN's story, though. Still nothing from the kidnappers.

It may not be practical for now, but look at it like upgrading a furnace/water heater or buying a wood burner. Over time it will pay for itself. ie- the financial damage to the world if another 9-11 happens from money to remove debris, catalog remains, insurance payouts, financial market collapse, etc. Bombing them all to hell may actually save us money in the end. Yes, there is some sarcasm in this thought, but there is also some truth... hmmm.

After an almost news blackout on Fox about the kidnapping...this has become THE story.

There is a big push to the Palestinian people that they NEED fox news to get the story out as those two guys were the only ones willing to go at that time ....and since they are "guests" ..someone had better get them out.
