That is sad. Once these thugs invade your life, there is no way to go back to your old life. You're either dead, with your family having to see your decapitated head in their minds for the rest of their lives, or you live and have to be surrounded by reminders of a terrifying and humiliating experience for the rest of your life.
Yeah. It's easy for us to just avoid the rat's nest over there. Not so easy for our troops who have chosen to be the tip of the spear, etc. But at least they are armed and trained and ready to give back what those vicious bastards deal out.
What I think is totally irresponsible is for a father/husband to go over there as a reporter to "get a story" (e.g. to give these filthy bastards free press.) Over here on another thread there's a reporter who asked Move America Forward/WND to quit sending them Press Releases....that he didn't want to hear their stories. But still, we have people risking their lives and their families lives to give Arafat/Nasrallah types free airtime.
The most disgusting part is that the only reason these two were released was because the Palistinian mafia decided it was bad PR to capture reporters. Anyone else, that's ok. Reporters, oh no, not them, they're special.
And that Jennifer Griffin, and others. She's pushing her luck over there IMHO. How long till they abduct her? What good is she accomplishing? She's been over there for years. Nothing has changed! Get a career where you can accomplish something and not taunt murder and rape daily.
