#2 I should not have laughed, but despite the fact that it is not a funny situation - that was a funny joke :-)

#4 At first I was surprised, then I remembered the jihadis had alienated all their other allies....

I hope the wackos come to their senses, and offer to release them for a ransom. CBS, of course, would refuse to negotiate with terrorists.

But these are just kidnappers....

#5 Oooooh... But the best news would be if they were released - after converting to Islam, of course - and told the world their captors spoke Farsi!

#6 The Sadr Boyz say it's a British journalist and an Iraqi interpreter. Of course, they condemn the kidnapping. Wink, wink.

#13 Waiting to see how they spin this one. After all the MSM refers to Islam as a relgion of ~~piss~~ peace so how will they title this one...

So far they are being called, "gunmen."
