#1 From the article: The statement came just hours after Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sent word to relatives of Angelo de la Cruz that he was on his way to freedom and would be taken to a Baghdad hotel, prompting a burst of celebration at his home.

Arroyo's incompetence is just staggering. And not just on the matter of the hostages - years after her coup over Estrada, the Philippines is still a basket case. At least Indonesia's Megawati Sukarnoaputri has an excuse - she's just a high school grad. Arroyo's a Harvard grad - just goes to show that Harvard grads are overrated - way overrated.
