#3 Eventually the entire sordid, squalid and perfide story will out.

Can you say "Patty Hearst"?

#4 Have to disagree there, HC.

At the beginning of the whole sordid affair, Patty Hearst wasn't complicit in her kidnapping (and subsequent happenings).

Doubt we can say the same for Osthoff. >:-(

#6 Gosh, didn't the Germans deny paying ransom for awhile there?

I'm thinking I'm as much of an archeologist as she is...

#7 Two days after her release, the German government freed a Hizbollah member jailed for life in 1985 for the murder of a U.S. Navy diver

Which I why I care. I haven't thought of the German govt as our ally for some time, but that part was simply beyond the pale.

#10 "So they paid a ranson AND released a murderer."

Of course, it's the Jizya Layaway Plan in the Dhimmi manual...

#11 Everything about this affair, from the "kidnapping" to her "release" to the Germans setting a killer free despite a valid and well-known long-standing extradition request to the bizarro hooded TV interview to the aftermath and revelations such as this, stinks beyond belief.

Who could possibly trust the Germans after this?
