DUBAI (Reuters) - Arabic television station Al Jazeera aired Friday a video tape it said was from an unidentified Iraqi guerrilla group, apparently showing a U.S. soldier hostage.
The poor-quality tape showed a white male dressed in military fatigues sitting on the floor surrounded by masked gunmen. One of the men, reading a statement, said their hostage was an American soldier who later on in the tape identified himself as Keith Matthew Maupin.

God's blessings on you all, and on all the prayer warrior friends of our overseas troops who now are in combat. It is fitting and proper to pray for "prisoners to be set free."

They showed our Soldier's face - a violation of the Geneva Convention, isn't it? Does that now make Al Jazeera a
fair enemy target?
Thank you Happy, xzins. Joining you in prayer for PFC Maupin!
From our resident Chaplain, xzins:
Prayer Alert! Batavia should be considered a suburb to the east of Cincy. It is a hotbed of patriotism and conservatism. Our soldiers and veterans are honored area-wide so we can expect an entire region of this state to be consistently praying for this young man, PFC Maupin.
Lord God, we pray for this young soldier and his safety. Give him wisdom and clarity as he relates to his captors. Help him to see that exaggerated words spoken to keep himself alive will be understood by his commanders, his comrades, and his country. Give him the opening he needs while being filmed or recorded to send that clandestine message imperceptible to an enemy but recognized by our intelligence analysts. Above all, Lord, we pray for his spiritual condition. Draw him into a closer relationship with You. In Jesus' name we pray; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Up a long ladder
And down a short rope :
With them foul al-Jazeeras-
That's my fondest hope !
Let 'em cry "Allah akhbar"
Till the rope gets too tight-
And we'll tug on their ankles
To send 'em off right !!
Gettin' nasty in me old age, ain't I ?

Al Jazeera has earned it's war crimes status over and over again. I hope that if we ever have trials, Al-Jazeera will be named as an accomplice to the war crimes being committed.
