Ex-hostage hires bounty hunters
Herald Sun Australia ^ | 26 June 2005

Posted on 06/26/2005 3:40:14 AM PDT by naturalman1975

A HOSTAGE held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.

Swede Ulf Hjertstrom, who was held for several weeks with Mr Wood in Baghdad, was released by his kidnappers on May 30.

Mr Hjertstrom has since claimed he shared information with US and Iraqi troops about Mr Wood which led to the release of the 63-year-old Australian engineers two weeks ago, after 47 days in captivity.

Now, he wants to find those responsible.

"I have now put some people to work to find these bastards," he told the Ten Network today.

"I invested about $50,000 so far and we will get them one by one."

He must be a throw back to the Vikings. Nice to know that ntt all of the old Norse genetic stock was either bred out, diluted, or migrated to the US (like my ancestors did).

Catch a few of these terrorists. Be creative with the blood so they know what's coming before they are executed. Make sure you leave alive a witness to spread the word.

I like the way this man thinks.

I find it refreshing that this taste of good old Western revenge-justice is coming from a citizen of the most European post-modern, multicultural, bed-wetting, afraid-to-defend-themselves-for-fear-of-looking-unreasonable nation, the ever-neaurtal Swedes.

Geez, what ever happened to good Viking genes?

Yes, I remember hearing that the Russians would go out and and abduct the terrorists family members and send them back to the terrorists in small pieces, in short order the Russian hostages were released. Don't know if it is true or not.

My ancestors, too. I was wondering there, for a while, if the remaining Scandis were all soft Marxists. Evidently not. I think that "Berzerker" gene is alive and well in the gene pool, tho, don't you?? I find it comes in handy now and then, personally.

Please post a link when you have it!

It's only in realvideo format so the quality is not particularly high, and it's only a very small screen size. I had to do this because I'm on dialup and I have to keep the file as small as possible - but I also wouldn't want to put anything out there that was too high quality, in case this program is planned for broadcast elsewhere.

What a remarkable man! This should be played on every TV in America. (But warning! It's ONE HOUR long!)

This is reality show in the making that I'd gladly pay a $1 to see.
