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.
I think Jennifer Griffin and her family live in Israel, her daughters go to school in Jerusalem. I would have a hard time bringing my family to a war zone, but I guess she feels Jerusalem is pretty safe.
Actually I think we need more Jennifer Griffins - telling the news from the free press Israeli side where safety and access are not tied to propaganda reporting.
