Please understand my position:
I do not condemn or criticize these men for what they did (or did not) do under duress. I criticize our media and government for willingly and knowingly airing Islamic propaganda. And they will do it again. No disclaimers needed. That is the rub with me. No talk about locating the abductors and bringing them to justice. Zilch, zero, nada. Why? Because we know who did it. Hamas.

Steve was very clear when he spoke to Shep, They had not been treated like guest (Which breaks the rules of Islam), but cruelly. He stated that they read from papers given to them (eluded several other tapes had been made). That they had guns held to their heads.

Almost the first thing out of his mouth was denial of a conversion....although he said he learned a "lot about Islam". (Which IMO can be taken several ways.) The thought running through my mind at the time was, careful Steve you're not out of Gaza yet. Then FOX delayed all other information until they were safe in Israel. The head of FOX news came on Fox and Friends and made that announcement.
