If she also called for more hearings into the firings of the eight U.S. attorneys then you might be on to something.

Tomorrow they'll even issue a statement that Allah trumps God.

When they get her trained to do that tongue warbling trick the Pali pigs do when they're 'celebrating', that might ruin the whole ruse.

You gotta be kidding. There is nothing more predictable in this kind of situation than the victim stiffly reading "his" statement that his country must remove its troops.

This is really SO infuriating- they can't believe for one minute that anyone is going to believe this nonsense.

And Russia wouldn't go with a strong condemnation of what Iran's done..at the UN security council...they seemed to think the word "deplore" was too much.

"This is really SO infuriating- they can't believe for one minute that anyone is going to believe this nonsense."

No one in their right mind would believe it. This kind of behavior is like dealing with a country of third graders. Sheesh.

Those poor soldiers are in a tough spot. They are doing what they think is best but I think they might be more likely to get released if they just kept quiet. Easy for me to say that though.

From past hostages: The Iranians will hold a cocked pistol to the head of another captive and the hostage being filmed is intimidated and scared to death into saying anything. If we ever did it, it would be called Torture.

This is the only woman captive. She has already been forced to appear on world-wide TV wearing a Muslim headscarf. She looks pretty ragged. What has happened to this woman since she was taken? Where in the hell is the Red Cross/Red Crescent to ensure this woman's personal safety? I have not seen one report that even broaches this subject. Female soldiers captured during Desert Storm were all sexually assaulted, but Heaven forbid anyone brings that up.

Muslim law says that she is worthless anyway, so why isn't anyone at all monitoring her condition? I'd have a doctor examine her PDQ, and then insist that she not be paraded around like some trophy. This is absolutely shameful.

What's a woman doing in harm's way? I hear she's a wife and mother. Outrageous that she's in the military in a danger zone.

What in the he££ is going on? Apparently, everyone's forgotten what happened to the American "soldier" Jessica Lynch who was captured and repeatedly raped by our Muslim peaceniks.
