And if they are, it's because the Japanese government caved into the Iraqi's demands...not because of some phone call.
Think about it. You are a broke, pissed off starving Iraqi and you have these hostages. It's like gold to you. Would you just give them up, and give up all of your leverage just because an Islamic leader called you? Please. I don't buy this for a second. They would probably be arressted or killed as soon as they gave the hostages up anyway.
The Japanese are probably willing to pay them off to keep public support and keep Washington happy.
