Perhaps Cindy can go over and speak to the reasonable Islamic gentlemen and convince them that what they are doing would be viewed badly by the peace movement.

"Fools rush in, where Angels fear to tread" and where trained and armed soldiers go with stealth and caution.

Let's pray that the adage: "God watches over fools and drunks" holds true for these fools.

Christian Peacemaker Teams, a group that has had activists in Iraq since October 2002, said it was saddened by the video of their workers. The workers, the group said, were working against the occupation of Iraq.
==============================================

I guess they should be considered insurgents.

Your excerpt gives the impression that the kidnap victims made the statement. Bit misleading.

Lets see.

Anglo Civilians going to Iraq and make themselves obvious hostage candidates.

Clearly these folks are Darwin award candidates and our respective governments should do nothing toward their release.

So much for personal responsibility.

Dopes.

They may consider themselves that way...only problem is, apparently the terrorists do not.

That is the only reasonable conclusion, given that these same types of lefties have been working hand-in-hand with jihadis and share their objectives.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until more is known about this situation. OTOH, they never should have been in Iraq in the first place.

"An American,a Briton and two Canadians."

Looks like Canada has as many fools as the USA and the United Kingdom combined. This is very enlightening..

Colonel David Hunt

Stated on fox news that these peace activists have now exposed our troops to more danger. We have to take our intelligence off of our work in Iraq and now focus on them.

Our intelligence in Iraq now has to be diverted towards finding their dumb ass while at the same time endangering the lives of our troops that have to find them. Peace activist is an oxymoron in this case.

The whole debate over the liberation of Iraq has rendered the word "absurd" meaningless.

Ramsey C. is in bed with Saddam, Cindy merely has to rouse him when she arrives in baghdad.
