WASHINGTON — The State Department rejected on Wednesday demands by a Palestinian group for the release of all Muslim prisoners in U.S. prisons in exchange for the release of two kidnapped Fox News journalists.
"We don't make concessions to terrorists, and we continue to call for the release of these journalists without conditions," State Department press officer Gonzalo Gallegos said.

It didn't come up on a search, and I thought it deserved its own thread.
No surprises here though -- and I am sure Steve and Olaf know we don't make deals with terrorists.

Attention kidnappers. You have 24 hrs to release the reporters. If you don't, we will assume you will kill them anyway. Our next step will be to bomb the crap out of you until there is nothing left, including civilians. They are responsible for allowing you to exit.

You really have to wonder what these people are thinking. they think we are weak and don't have the guts to burn down parts of Gaza to get them released.

There's no way we have the guts to do that. Or anything close to that.
But we will quietly find these bastards and at that moment they will cease to exist.

They need to respond to the demands by cutting off every penny of aid and freezing their assets.

If we would just swallow our pride and release these Muslims in exchange for the newsmen, the people of the middle east would see that we're really not the ogres they think we are. Maybe they would then reciprocate and quit threatening us. Some day, maybe we all can just get along. (/gag)

To paraphrase what Jennifer Griffin has been saying all day, no reporters from any network will ever step foot in Gaza again. (Okay she didn't say that, but that is what she means.)
There will be (and is now) essentially a news blackout in the Gaza strip. No one will be there to report on the "plight" of the Palis.

What pigs. What vile, disgusting, filthy pigs.
Most of us are probably used to seeing Steve Centanni on a regular basis and this is very heartbreaking for us. If, God forbid, Steve and his cameraman are executed, I hope this wakes up some of these idiots who think the terrorists aren't that bad. No Geneva conventions, no Constitutional Rights, just go in and blast them to hell where they belong!

At least there is news. Thanks for the ping, and I will keep praying.

This IS a terrible act; not to mention exceptionally STUPID.
Yes, most of us feel that we know Centanni, because we've seen him so many times and this does hurt. But our government is NEVER going to comply to these ridiculous demands. I fear that Steve and Olaf will be killed.

I hope all network reporters, print media & everyone else stand by this decision......it's worthless rhetoric if they don't.
