I think she works for the BBC. that would bring out the welcome mat and open many doors in Gaza I would think.

Regardless she was very brave imho.

Let's email Greta and tell her we want another hour of this! Can I count on all y'all to send an email?

We all hope we would hold up under the pressure. I often hear my mental "rooster crowing" on occasion even in not threatening situations. But I will not judge them...especially since they may not even be Christians to begin with.

That said, we can thank Peter for giving us a great example of just how great Christ's forgiveness is.

Yes that's the excuse - exchange truth for access. That's what Eason Jordan of CNN admitted to in Saddam controlled Iraq.

It is a bad bargain. No different than world appeasement of Islamic fascists. If the barbarians won't allow you to report freely, stay away from there. Let's see how they like it when the only news comes from the safe and free press Israeli side.

Jennifer looks totally different!

The way Steve looks at her, he is totally grateful and humbled.

I know... as someone said upthread, it's hard to recognize her without her hair blowing!

I really wanted to hear more from Jennifer on what she did behind the scenes... we only got a taste of the big picture. This interview really should have been two hours..

Excellent comparison. Religion is a deeply personal issue, and the Islamonazis violated it. They shouldn't be given the satisfaction of seeing their issue brought to the fore. All they should get is something dropped from a C-130 (because an F-16 can't carry something that big).

I think they just ran out of time. A lot to tell.

cut their own throats" is what he said. Meaning by kidnapping the journalists, other journalist would leave and their story 9the Pali's story) would not be told. Thus: "cut their own throats

Yeap that is what I took it to mean too.

The 'conversion' isn't a problem to me. I know nothing about Centannis or Wiig's previous religion.

Could I convert? I don't know. I hope not and hope if given the choice between life and death that I would not. In my heart, I would never convert. With a gun to my head by a crazy loon... I can't think that Jesus would condemn me for saving a life, even if my own.

Nothing on the forced conversion. Nothing on the mirror interview of Steve after Olaf came out hearing they planned on killing Steve. Much more to this story.

She did make a smarty pants remark that FOX wouldn't just be calling to offer her a job or something like that.

Fox News would be insane to put any journalist in that hell hole, now. Let CNN do it.....

Ok, I'll entertain that. We abandon any western reporting from these areas and all we get is from outlets such as Hezbollah and Al Jeezera.

What would be the strategic advantages of this kind of move in your opinion?

Can you image how Olaf must have felt when Steve went into that interrogation? Olaf saw the knife in front of the interrogator.

"Regardless she was very brave imho."

Extremely brave and extremely smart. What an unbelieveable story, you have Anita, Jennifer and an Israeli news bureau chief all in Gaza, negotiating with all of those factions. I'm amazed that they all are safe.

Answered prayers.
