VIDEO: DEATH TO PEACE ACTIVISTS IF DEMANDS NOT MET
Kidnappers Threaten to Kill Iraq Activists
Dec 02 3:52 PM US/Eastern
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Jazeera television broadcast a videotape Friday in which kidnappers of four Christian peace activists threatened to kill their hostages unless all prisoners in U.S. and Iraqi detention centers are released. The kidnappers gave the two governments until Dec. 8 to meet their demands, Al-Jazeera quoted a statement delivered with the tape as saying.
The tape showed what the broadcaster said were two Canadian hostages. An American and a Briton are also being held. All four appeared frightened.
The Canadians were shown eating from plates of what appeared to be Arabic sweets. In a second clip, the British and American hostages were shown to talking to the camera but no audio was transmitted.
The two were calling on the U.S. and British governments to withdraw from Iraq, Al-Jazeera reported, quoting a statement from the kidnappers, who earlier identified themselves as the Swords of Righteousness Brigade
The captors have demanded that which they know will not be given. So, if the captors are real, death is coming.
If they are fake, the captured will be released.
It also opens up a discussion I would have assumed closed: to wit, there really may be people who are too stupid to live. We will find out shortly, apparently.
Like in....California?
I'd never heard of a shad before moving here.
I say: call their bluff.
"Alauah Ahkbar!"
"Alauah Ahkbar!"
"Alauah Ahkbar!"
"Alauah Ahkbar!"
"Alauah Ahkbar!"
while the heads are BEING SAWED OFF.
Oh well.
It will be "all Bush's fault", of course. That's their answer to everything. If we weren't in Iraq, they wouldn't have been there, either, or so the story will go. It will not matter if, or how, these peace workers are executed. This will be just more fodder for their demonstrations.
These people are SO predictable!

Hey, thanks for the reminder! I've been meaning to do this and I'm never around a computer when I think about it.
NO!!!!!!!!
...with a nice Chianti...
Evidently, you and 'melas' don't recognize extreme sarcasm when you read it. It sounded to me that the poster was using sarcasm to fend off feckless observations made by some 'faint of heart' posters, who are more worried about what other people will think, if they dare to 'stray off the reservation'.
In this time of war, there is no room for the spineless , equivocators or appeasers.
I simply cannot believe that we can't find four former American war heroes to offer to take the place of these unfortunates. You know, someone in the twilight of their careers, and just dying to do the right thing? The names Murtha, Kerry, and McCain come immediately to mind. Who can think of a fourth?
They know, full well, what animals we are dealing with...but they want everyone to see the President as the greater evil.
Oh boy...we're giving the Xbox 360 a good run for its money.
Then you must be a Largemouth Bass.
1st time I've cheered for the "other" team.
If they hadn't claimed to be Christian aid workers, and admitted they were left wing peace activists there to start trouble, they wouldn't have been allowed in Iraq.
Just because they say they are Christians doesn't mean they are. They're siding with blood thirsty killers who behead the innocent just for fun. Remember, by their fruits ye will know them.
