Tough luck.

Sorry, title should be: Thirty Journalists Reported To Be Held Hostage By Afghans
To: Merovingian
Only thirty journalists? Well, it's a start. How do we send them more?
To: Merovingian
I suppose it's a twist on the old lawyer joke now:
What do you call 30 journalists captured by the Taliban?
A good start!
To: Merovingian
Casualties of war. Too bad, so sad. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

And, can we issue press passes to Bill, Hillary, Janet Reno, and all their smarmy supporters? Or would that be considered germ warfare?
To: Merovingian
If there are any Brits, I am sorry.
But, not 1 American life should be put at risk to help these 'reporters'

$33 per journalist? That's pretty steep.
If they're going to make unrealistically high demands like that, we know they're not serious about returning them. Somehow, we'll manage, just the same.
To: CatoRenasci
LOL So far we have a concensus!
To: Merovingian
And this is supposed to deter us from something we are planning to do? Talk about a gross miscalculation!
To: Merovingian
Lets give them $1000 a piece tainted with Anthrax!!!!
To: Tennessee_Bob
How do we send them more?LOL !!! I only wish that Peter Arnett was amongst them.
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
Please, oh please let one of them be Christine Amanpour!

demanding one thousand dollars as ransom to release them.They'll have to lower their asking price. This will be this group of Afghanis first lesson in market economics and supply and demand. Would they accept $1500 to keep them?

The tribesmen are demanding one thousand dollars as ransom to release them.![](http://www.grudge-match.com/Images/DrEvil.gif)
"Gentlemen, it's come to my attention that a break away Russian republic, Kraplacistan, is about to transfer a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here's the plan, we get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for, one million dollars."
To: Merovingian
Film at 11:00?
Ransom? Nah, we'll pay YOU $2000 to keep them.
