[txroadkill]

Gives 72 hour deadline to release all muslim prisoners.

[Churchillspirit]

I was wondering if journalists have worked out signals in advance....

I thought of that too.

If so, I hope they were able to communicate some useful info.

Prayers for both captives.

[Alouette]

The Palestinian business model:

Kidnap hostages. Demand ransom.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

[Lazamataz]

Gives 72 hour deadline to release all muslim prisoners.

They're dead. That's an outrage, but it is the reality of the horror that is Islam.

[Jmouse007]

Yes I do believe everything you have said, but the reality is this:...

The Islamofascists are going to do EVERYTHING I have described whether or not the media plays nice with them and calls their captives "guests". In other words; you can not negotiate or play nice with Islamic terrorists who want to convert, kill and conquer the world in the name of alla and Islam.

Since this IS the case; news organizations, the MSM, et., al. may as well tell the truth about the reality of what is going on.

[Sue Perkick]

I'm afraid so. These barbarians have made demands they know will never be met.

[river rat]

NOT TO WORRY...

I'm sure this barbarous use of "innocent civilian hostages" and threat to do harm to "non combatants" will draw the immediate condemnation from the forces of Truth and Goodness at the U.N., International Amnesty, AP, Reuters, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and all those genteel peace loving Muslims in the world...

Oh - What's that?
This behavior is DESCRIBED, PROSCRIBED and AUTHORIZED by the murderous cult's "holy book"....
Oh, I guess that makes it okay...

Do the Muslims of the world realize - they have painted THEMSELVES in the image of filthy cockroaches, and the world will soon demand their extermination???

Semper Fi

[Doc91678]

Thank God we have news that these guys are alive.
Now that we know this we can proceed with their release.
Both Hamas and Fatah are directly responsible for this. The fact they came up with a new name for this kidnapping means nothing.
If I were Pres. Bush, I would explain to the leaders that releasing these men is the right thing to do, or they will face the wrath of the US both financially and possibly physically.

[blam]

"Why is the media ignoring this? Cuz the guys are from FOX? Or do they want us to see the "kind and gentle" side of the kidnappers (they sharpen the blade before cutting)."

My sense early on was that Fox asked the news organizations to down play the kidnapping.

[aimee5291]

I'm praying for these men...and for their families.

The tapes is being shown on Fox and reported on...

[JustaCowgirl]

I am so worried about these men, and am saying heartfelt prayers for a miracle. The lack of information up to now is not encouraging.

[ohioWfan]

Thanks for that transcription, Peach.

Deepest continued prayers for both men. May God put a hedge around them and protect them from these beasts!

[agrace]

My sense early on was that Fox asked the news organizations to down play the kidnapping.

Me too, and I'm not sure I understand that - I guess part of me thinks that they should make as much news noise as possible, put pressure on the kidnappers.

[olde north church]

Start killing 10 prisoners every hour until they are released. That's the only way to stop this uncivilized behaviour.

Not that I approve or condone of such behavior (*wink*) but maybe the time is overdue to start giving our "muslims" reciprocal hospitality.

[ZULU]

Look for as much action on this as on those American soldiers who were kidnapped, tortured and butchered.

We are not using the kind of force the Muslims respect.
We look like patsies to them.

They'll use these people for propaganda purposes as long as possible, then probably release them.

[RummyChick]

The strategy has changed. It is THE story on Fox right now.

[cantfindagoodscreenname]

Start killing 10 prisoners every hour until they are released. That's the only way to stop this uncivilized behaviour.

These are people who use women and children as human shields. Do you think they really care about these prisoners? Well, maybe they do if the prisoners are men.

[Earthdweller]

"Gives 72 hour deadline to release all muslim prisoners."

The captors might well have asked for someone to lasso the moon.

They apparently don't understand that the government here is not the same as the media.

[never4get]

I am afraid these men are dead-men walking. The perversion of those who hold them leaves me no hope that there is any chance they will be spared. Those Islamo fascists sicken & revolt me to my core. May God comfort those being held and their families.

[pointsal]

Why does anyone or any government entity from a Western Nation allow Al Jazzera to continue to exist?

This outfit should be leveled to the ground!

I hope and pray these two reports are able to get out of this mess....

[AliVeritas]

May God have mercy on them. Steve and Olaf told us all we have to know... but then again, this is the CNN video snatched, not the al Jazeera one. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/fnc/default.asp Steve Centanni: "...We get lots of clean water, food every day, access to the bathroom, shower, clean clothes and our captors are treating us well. So I just want to let you know I'm and alive and give my love to my family and friends and ask you to do anything you can to try to help us get out of here." (You don't say here and alive... you say alive, trust me, notice he addresses the Red Cross checklist, so they're watching TV) Olaf Wiig: "I guess I would add for myself, and I know my family are already be doing this, but if you could apply any political pressure to the , that would be much appreciated by both Steve and myself. I know Anita you will already be doing that. To my family, I love you all. Please don't worry, I'll do all of the worrying for us." (location, location, location) Centanni: "We love you all and we want to go home, hope to see you soon. Thanks." How can they tell when this was taped? If anyone comes across a clearer or lighter and closer version, ping me. From lying AP: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/15340970.htm Video of kidnapped journalists released GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A previously unknown Palestinian group released video Wednesday of two kidnapped Fox News journalists and demanded that Muslim prisoners in U.S. jails be released within 72 hours in exchange for the men, a Palestinian news agency reported. The video, which broadcast by Al-Jazeera and also seen by an Associated Press correspondent, was the first sign of American correspondent Steve Centanni, 60, of the San Francisco area, and cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand, since they were kidnapped Aug. 14 near the Palestinian security services headquarters in Gaza City. Although Palestinian militant groups have often seized foreigners, including members of the media, this is the longest any have been held. In the video, the men sat on the floor in sweatsuits and appeared to be in good health. No armed men were seen. < Earlier, Ramattan said the kidnappers had demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners.>> Ramattan said the journalists were heard saying in the video that they were in good hands and appealed to their governments to respond to the kidnappers' demands. (I don't know about you... they're asking for what?, have you ever heard wait, then we'll wait from kidnappers... sounds like the UN). Now this is what Wiig's family said (direct, no AP, and wife's a broadcaster and said Abbas knew more): http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3770898a11,00.html Wiig's father, Reverend Roger Wiig, told the Sunday Star-Times yesterday: "She met with Abbas and was sitting on a chair right beside him when he assured her that Olaf was alive and well. "I think he had assurances from some groups who say they know that." (Time for W to light up the PA, then they will have no need of a state, let's not forget... they were snatched right in front of the PA security building, nothing goes on unless they know, if it's PIJ we have problems... they get money directly from Iran). Now check out the Reuters (gag) release: http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-08-23T125804Z_01_L23359620_RTRUKOC_0_US-MIDEAST-GAZA-KIDNAPPINGS.xml 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.> Fox correspondent Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig were abducted by masked gunmen in Gaza City on Aug 14 as they were working on a story. (Is it me? Why would they have Reuters fax number. Silly me, dumb question. Who was it addressed to? Yet another Paliwood stringer faxed it over from the PA? Where was the number it originated from? That info can be pulled. Let me guess, directly from the PA, given to them by a delivery boy). First NZ's Turkish ambassador was sent... nothing. Then the other amb. from NZ Peter Rider thought he may be getting somewhere... nothing. On the 21st we have this: Also today (NZ time), Ken LaCorte, a senior Fox News official, arrived in Gaza to follow up on efforts to release the journalists. He met security officials and others, a local Fox reporter said. More than two dozen foreigners have been abducted by Palestinian militants, usually in an attempt to settle personal scores, but almost all have been released within hours. This is the longest that foreigners have been held. Security officials are especially concerned because all the militant groups have denied involvement and no demands have been put forth. Mr Rider said he had no further information about the missing men: "Just like the family, we are very concerned about the safety and security of the hostages, and we are working together to try to secure their safe return." "Please release these men," he urged their captors.AP http://www.hbtoday.co.nz/localnews/storydisplay.cfm?storyid=3697616&thesection=localnews&thesubsection=&thesecondsubsection= Too bad Centanni and Wiig's companions that didn't get snatched weren't more like this one: http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001139366
