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
Or here's a chance for a Michael Moore to make a legal contribution to the enemy by paying off the ransom...
It would be great if the peace activists busted loose, unleashed some chop-socki kung fu moves on their captors, returned home and joined the conservative movement and worked to eliminate these psychotic extremists....and to work to ensure a GOP majority in the mid-terms.
That's what that Italian b***h did. The only thing that went wrong for us it that our soldiers missed her and hit an Italian special services guy.
My money is still on an unharmed release. I think this is a publicity stunt. It is no coincidence that this is just before the national election. If the MSM had anything ethics, they wouldn't carry this story. We are just giving the terrorists another forum.
Islamofascists love marytrs who agree with their ideology. These peace activists are obviously the newer morph of the suicide bombers.
I know what you mean Alia....but the only thing silly about it is the 8th century virgin seekers and has-been, wannabe commies that are trying to harm Western Civilization.
Why ?
Because socialist doctrine is that they stick up for each other, no matter the offense.
It's as true for Clinton as it was for Saddam.
From Havana to Baghdad to Caracas socialists will defend the worst of the worst in order to see a fellow socialist wield power.
However. Fact. There've been numerous instances in past of "alleged" AQ "voices" threatening to kill people. These were common thugs, vile criminals, not directly associated with AQ who were hoping to get "ransom funds".
I care about shad. Find a bunch o' roiling shad, and that's a good place to catch a bass...
We do not negotiate with terrorists, or a$$clowns, or with terrorists for a$$clowns.
The organizations representing these activists have already blamed the US and our president. It didn't take long. That said, I hope they're freed. Naivete and stupidity should not be a death sentence.
ROFL!
Win, win?
Yeah, and it's astonishing that confronted with that proof, they will still not accept it.
That refrain was running through my head as I read the article.
I care about both the shad and the bass....when I'm hungry.
