#1 Fuck these idiots and those like them. The next time they get plucked off the streets by their Jihadi heroes, just send word on where their bodies will be dumped so we can bag em and tag em. There are more important things to spend time on over there then wasting time on bailing out the sanctimonius relics of the sixties and their wannabe desciples when their little Kumbaya games blow up in their faces.

#2 It's of little help at the moment, but I have no doubt all these clowns are going to be in for a VERY rude (and hot) awakening when they die.

(And I'm not even Christian.)

I'd prefer a reckoning for them in this life, but I'll take what I can get....

#3 If I have it aright, the CPT would not on principle -- if the word can be perverted thus -- have placed a call, if they could, to save Tom Fox as he was being tortured to death because it might bring Multinational Forces rushing to violent rescue, an act they would have no part of.

That's one klaxon beginning to sound.

Yet they saw no contradiction in precipitating this absurd situation by their intentional presence in Iraq and by trailing their coat in the most dangerous neighborhoods;

That's two klaxons blaring away.

nor did they think it ethically consistent to refrain from telling the Press of the kidnapping though they must have known efforts to rescue them would be made, despite their well-publicized refusals.

They've endangered themselves, the lives of innocent Iraqis and those who hazarded themselves to find and rescue them for the sake of their own self-righteous theater.

You'll have to speak up, you see, there's all these klaxons going off.

This sort of vile sanctimonious holier-than-thou crap goes beyond evil. It is the very face of satan himself. Wretchard does well to summon up the name of Fred Phelps when discussing these twisted puppies.

I agree, tu3031, next time we don't lift a finger and just let these idiots make love to their captors. The Stokholm Syndrome looks rational by comparison.

#4 It was like this, as reported in the Telegraph:

A deal had been struck with a man detained the previous night who was one of the leaders of the kidnappers. He was allowed a telephone call to warn his henchmen to leave the kidnap house. When the troops moved in and found the prisoners alive, they also let him go as promised.

Seems the bad guys skated.
