#1 US Forces Rescue Kidnapped Newspaper Editor
(snip)
Al-Taakhi is an Iraqi daily founded in 1967. Dr. Bdrakhan al-Sindi is the editor-in -chief and it is the official newspaper of the Democratic Party of Kurdistan (DPK).

Why bother to rescue him, better results would be had if they did kill him, it just might wake up the News Staff that these folks are the enemy.
