Ya know, maybe the MSM shouldn't be blabbin' this info about. The guy's value as an expired hostage just went up with that bit of news.
The MSM is the most treasonous bunch in the U.S...right up there next to Lib Congresscritters.
Exactly right! His family should have kept quiet as well - This does not help his situation at all -
Thank you AP and ABC news for putting this man at great risk. I really hate our media.
Leave it to the LSM to blow the guys cover! God.. how I hate those people(forgive me)!
It should now be obvious that AP newswire is an intelligence organ of global islamic terror groups.
Let's all pray as well.
Treasonous....but they want him to die..it makes their point..and their headlines..
This is outrageous. Not that another reason was needed to hate the MSM...
Sadly..you are right. 'Utter disgust' does not even begin to measure my feelings right now.
Ed Schulz, 42, said the FBI had asked family members to give reporters only limited information on his younger brother.
"I don't want to get my brother killed," Ed Schulz said. "But the fact that he has blond hair and blue eyes might get him killed.
Sheesh.....Then why discuss his military service?!!!!
I sending an email to ABC over this. Let's bombard them.
BTTT
"Treasonous....but they want him to die..it makes their point..and their headlines.."
Sorry, but I haven't heard/read that this marine wants to die. I doubt it very much he wants to.
Praying for this man's life.
