#1 journalists and insurgents - why do they hate us?

#2 It is a symbiotic relationship:

Journalists hate guns and want to disarm everyone, especially their political opponents (conservtatives) so insurgents can kill them.

#3 Iraqi gunmen released three veteran NBC journalists and an Iraqi freelancer Friday, three days after the group was captured in Fallujah, NBC said in a statement.

So are we supposed to feel some sort of relief at this? Given the location in which these "journalists" were taken captive, I seriously doubt that their intention was to show how the daily lives of typical Iraqis have improved over the past year, and it would come as no surprise if their original intent was to continue the drumbeat of gloom and doom that seems to permeate Iraq news coverage.
