An Iraqi insurgent group said it killed a kidnapped U.S. security consultant Thursday, making the claim through an Internet posting. The posting surfaced on an Islamic militant Web forum. The group, calling itself the Islamic Army, said it will release images of the killing at a later time. It did not identify the hostage, although in an earlier statement named him as Ronald Alan Schulz. The White House has not confirmed the claim, nor has it confirmed the hostage's name. "Any time there is an American that is taken hostage it is a priority for the administration, and their safe...

Hostages' group on wrong sideToronto Sun By Peter Worthington December 9, 2005 It's possible to have sympathy for people whose actions you consider foolish, reckless and futile. So it is with those four members of the Christian Peacemakers Teams (CPT) in Iraq who've been taken hostage and whose captors have extended their execution date to Saturday. Originally, their captors, something calling itself the Swords of the Righteous Brigades, vowed to execute all four yesterday if Britain and the U.S. didn't free all Iraqi prisoners in their custody immediately. Clearly, this isn't going to happen. The fact that the kidnappers even...

NEWTON - Mennonite Church USA released an official statement of support for Christian Peacemaker Team members, as well as their families and friends, in response to the disappearance of team members currently working in Baghdad, Iraq.

A new video released by terrorists on an Islamic website today shows two of the four peace activists held hostage in Iraq in a scripted message asking for U.S. and U.K. troops to withdraw from Iraq. In the video, British hostage Norman Kember and American hostage Thomas Fox urge U.S. and U.K. withdrawal from Iraq several times, sometimes repeating themselves word for word.

AP) CHICAGO The Reverend Jesse Jackson is calling for the release of four Christian peace activists who were taken hostage in Iraq last week. Jackson appeared this morning on CNN and Al-Jazeera. He's appealing to the hostage takers on religious and humanitarian grounds. The four men work for the Chicago-based Christian Peacemaker Teams. They include one American, two Canadians and a Brit. The kidnappers have threatened to kill the men by tomorrow unless all prisoners in Iraqi and U.S. detention centers are freed. Jackson says religious leaders must appeal to the hostage takers because the U.S. government isn't in a...

I just watched an interview with the daughter of the American Peace Activist held hostage in Iraq. While I can respect the strength of the man's convictions, I sharply and fundamentally disagree with them. He specifically stated that if taken hostage he did not want US or Iraqi forces to attempt his rescue with any use of force. Despite this, it is clear that he was there in direct opposition to US forces and was in fact abetting the very people our forces and the free Iraqis are fighting. When asked by the host if there was anything that she...

The director of an aid group appealed on Saturday to the abductors of four Western hostages held in Iraq to release them, saying they were working in the country to help free Iraqi prisoners. Rich Mayer, director of Christian Peacemaker Teams, told the Arabic Al Jazeera television that the four captives -- two Canadians, an American and a Briton -- had been working in Iraq to help relatives locate people held prisoner in Iraq. He made his comments one day after Iraqi insurgents holding the four threatened in a videotape to kill them unless Iraqi detainees held in prisons run...

By now you must know that a group of so-called "peacemakers" have been abducted by Islamic terrorists in Iraq. The abducted "peacemakers" were part of a group called Christian Peacemaker Teams. Their own website makes it clear that they are a hard left-leaning organization. Now four of their members are being held by Islamic jihadists. So ... are these peacemakers upset with the Islamic terrorists who have taken their compatriots hostage? Well, as a matter of fact, no ... they're not. They're upset with the United States. Islam has a definite and stated course of action when it comes to...
