#1 Unfortunately, the paleos know that the Fox News reporters are harder to spin.

If they were NYT, ABC or CNN, the paleos would give them a medal. The fact that they work for Fox News does not bode well for their release.

#2 OTOH, should any harm come to them, no other mainstream news organization would do a better job of stirring up American anger and mobilizing American public opinion even more against Palestinians than Fox. Careful, Palestine. You just stepped in it. Israel will have a freer hand now with bigtime American approval.

#4 This is not good. Fox has been on Israel's side this whole event. Time for Israel to pull a hat trick on this one!

#5 My prayers are w/Steve Centanni & his cameraman.

It would seem the Paleos are trying to goad America into action. I for one would have no problem going there and getting our guy back if the call came down. They need to learn that f*cking w/even one American will bring the wrath of God on their stupid heads.

#6 Steve Centanni seems like a straight guy. I hope he is O.K. Might be easier to rescue him out of Gaza then Lebanon. Intel might also be better.

#8 Intimidation of journalists works. You can bet the next FOX crew in Gaza will be walking on egg shells. Message received by all news media.

#9 Is it my imagination, or has Fox completely clammed up on this? There doesn't seem to be anything on the web site, and I caught a Fox Middle East update that didn't mention it.

#10 So, after all this, Palestine thinks it would be prudent to take Americans Hostage as well?

Very, Very Unwise.

Bullshit. We'll do fuck-all to the Palestinians over this. Well, that's not quite right. We'll hand them a great big wad of cash, a couple of freighters full of guns and ammunition, and strongarm the Israelis into giving them more greenhouses to trash.

Face it, folks, our civilization doesn't want to live. The only open question is how long the corpse will stay warm and how much damage it will do while it's thrashing around.

#13 RC-I want to live. I am just one, but there are other just ones who want to live, too. However many of us there are, we need to start a chain reaction of pressure on Palestine and Lebanon, not get discouraged.

Arab culture is given a lot of credit for patience and focus, but they are not the only culture who can hang tough for the golden prize. The American Revolution holds a lot of cues for us to follow again.

The Islamic realm will keep fu**ing up-we'll have plenty of material to work with for persuading our currently nonchalant countrymen of how much is on the line-if we keep the pressure up and keep the film rolling. I am frustrated like you, but we need to remember why Americans have confidence in the first place-our ideas are the world's best hope and we will stand steadfast for those ideas.

Where I see failure is in the House and Senate-where are the representatives who have the power to really make Palestine pay for this? Or is the US gonna pull an Olmert, where we sigh and hedge and then cede the alpha role, only to regret it afterwards in the media? America's leaders-get on the ball. We can stand behind you, if you actually take a stand.
