#3 From FoxNews

"KABUL, Afghanistan Taliban militants claimed they shot and killed one South Korean hostage on Wednesday while a group of abductees was freed and taken to a U.S. military base, officials said.

Purported Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi claimed that one of the hostages had been shot and killed around 4 p.m. (7:30 a.m. EDT), and a police official who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation said militants told him the hostage was sick and couldn't walk and was therefore shot.

Some of the 23 Korean hostages, meanwhile, had been freed and were taken to a U.S. base in Ghazni, two Western officials said who asked not to be identified. The officials did not know how many had been freed. The South Korean news agency Yonhap said eight Koreans had been freed."

ROP indeed.....

#4 "Negotiations are going well". Translates to "Their offer was below our reserve".

#6 Yep, Islam is the Religion of Peace, all right - the "peace" of the grave. No thanks. I'd rather remain as I am.
