Video of Kidnapped Journalists Released
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/08/23/D8JM62PG0.html

A previously unknown Palestinian group released the first video Wednesday of two kidnapped Fox News journalists and demanded that Muslim prisoners in U.S. jails be released within 72 hours in exchange for the men, a Palestinian news agency reported.

In the video, Steve Centanni, 60, of the San Francisco area, and cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, of New Zealand, appeared to be in good health, seated on the floor in sweat suits against a black background. No armed men were shown.

"Our captors are treating us well," Centanni said, adding that they had access to clean water, showers, bathrooms, food and clothing.

"So, just want to let you know I am here and alive and give my love to my family and friends and ask to do anything you can to try to help us get out of here," he added.

1. I don't see why the captors
of these men would think that the Israeli gov't would release Palestinian prisoners in exchange for an American and a Norwegian. Doesn't make any sense.

3. One is a freelance who just happened to be working for fox
he also works for CNN and other reputable outlets. Condemning someone for who they associate with politically is despicable.

4. You take the blood money you take the risk.
I have no sympathy for any "Faux News people" Who do you think is feeding this "war" and all the related "wars on terror" to America as a "great and noble cause"?

7. You're entitled to your opinion.
So am I, but a plant, no if you think so prove it. My beliefs were forged during the Vietnam war and I have no idea what yours are and much less I don't care. My goal is to rid this country of republicans, Fox News, Clear Channel, Sinclair Broadcasting, etc. etc. once and for all. So flame away...... I have taken better shots than what you can offer, if you don't like what I am saying ignore my posts just like I can ignore your BS, or not, if I choose.

8.  I know but hey thanks for reminding me ;)
So am I, but a plant, no if you think so prove it.


I think you are a plant and no I don't have to prove anything your words speak for itself.

My beliefs were forged during the Vietnam war


And what are your beliefs exactly?

and I have no idea what yours are and much less I don't care.


Fair enough.

My goal is to rid this country of republicans, Fox News, Clear Channel, Sinclair Broadcasting, etc. etc. once and for all.


How exactly do you alone intend to do that without costing many, many, many lives?

So flame away......


:rofl:

I have taken better shots than what you can offer


Your last line seems to prove otherwise.

if you don't like what I am saying ignore my posts


Ignoring the "problem" doesnt make it go away, I've never had the need to do it here and I don't intend to do it with you.

just like I can ignore your BS,


I'm not shitting you I really believe you are a plant.

or not, if I choose.


but you are. :shrug: :crazy: :rofl:

10. You got a point...

  • FOX coverage has been despicable regarding the Bush administration and it's propaganda and has indirectly cost thousands of lives;

  • it has demonized and discredited Democrats and it's 'entertainers' like O'Reilly have visciously attacked the patriotism and integrity of judges, sitting representatives, 911 vicitms and fellow citizens for the most debase partisan reasons;

  • never shown the least bit concern for objectivity, fairness or a full airing of any other point

  • they shameless called the 2000 election when their collegues were holding back on a very close race

  • they spent weeks trashing Dan Rather, a fellow journalist, and have had editorial after editorial, show after show, denouncing everyone one from the LA Times to the NY Times for investigating the Bush Administration as is their right as citizens in a free country.

    and unfortunately for the kidnapped victims, FOX generally thinks the Arab Muslim is subhuman


Fuck'em...

I'll watch the inevitable YouTube video of their beheading...

:evilgrin:


BTW

Welcome to DU
:hi:

(psst...I think it's an inside job...they were grabbed by an unhitherto group in one of the world's largest prisons...I'd talked to the guards ;-)
