I would come home, kiss the ground of the United States and never, ever leave again even to go as far as Canada or Mexico.
Since the kidnappers couldn't kill them, couldn't trade any prisoners for them, and couldn't get any money for them, a faux conversion to Islam is a way for them to save just a little face when releasing them.
I wouldn't be certain of that. The Islam conversion garbage would be the sort of "in your face" icing on the cake these neanderthals would relish while they count the money.
No, this was a way to get Centanni and Wiig out of the middle east forever. They can never go back to report from Palestine again or their hotel bellboy or someone will slit their throats as apostates.
It also makes Abbas and Hamas look good in the eyes of the diplomats, since Abbas and Hamas supposedly "worked with the captors" to get them released.
It's a message to all Fox News reporters: "You will toe the line and report what we want the way AP and CNN do, or we'll exile you from the mideast forever on pain of death. Hell, once you're in our hands we might just kill you anyway, if we don't feel the need for a propaganda victory that week!"
"Since the kidnappers...couldn't get any money for them..."
Sorry, but I beg to differ. Although it will be kept an absolute secret, I believe Fox New paid the kidnappers a large sum for releasing these two men, whom they had to release anyway.
