Some British media were critical of what they viewed as an apparent lack of a formal thank you from the peace activists for the efforts to rescue them.

They weren't the only ones who noticed...

Day late............dollar short.......

He's a naive fool...but God doth love fools...

[Zman516]

Ex post facto "thank-you's" are worthless.

Make the SOB pay for rescue expenses or take him back.

[Dallas59]

I don't believe it. Sounds like a PR damage control statement.

[armymarinemom]

He sounds a bit different that the talking heads from his head office.

[Dallas59]

Their the ones who told him to what to say.....IMO

Give him some time. He spent 24 hours in debriefing and it was mentioned that he gave some good information about his captors. It is always said that extreme liberals are often shaken from liberalism after the really meet evil.

[Bon mots]

Our soldiers risked their necks to save this turd?

They should have let the bad guys keep him.

Notice how they immediately killed the American.
I hope we killed the hostage takers out back someplace.

[Dallas59]

Ok....The clock is ticking.

[sgtbono2002]

Dont worry about Jill Carroll , she is woorking with her captors. She will be "allowed" to come home when she is ready.

[TomGuy]

It seems the 'thank you' only came after a couple of days of PR pressure and negative press for those 3 who were 'released'.

[FormerLib]

My sentiments exactly. I wonder if his understanding of good versus evil gained any clarity during his ordeal.

[muawiyah]

This is kind of self-serving. For awhile there these guys looked like they'd done in the fourth hostage when he discovered they were in cahoots with a kidnapping gang to rip off charitable groups for ransom.

Hey, still looks that way but this guy's figured it out.

[bboop]

'Bout time! I could not believe how rude and unthankful these jerks were -- and pretty unChristian, too -- to come out badmouthing America, Bush, the military.

[agere_contra]

We were impressed by the sensitivity with which it (the British government) responded to our concerns about any possible use of force in any rescue attempt

Gee, we're glad it met with your approval. I kind of wish we'd had to use bayonets and flamethrowers now.

"There's a real sense in which you are interviewing the wrong person.

Finally got one thing right you G__D__ senile worthless SOB. You put brave young men's lives at risk for the sake of your scummy morally diseased A**. Now get the hell out of the spotlight, go home, and may you die a stinking traitor's death in well deserved obscurity.

" I do not believe a lasting peace can be achieved by armed force..."

You dumb schmuck. Without armed force, you'd be speaking German or Russian today.

[Hot Tabasco]

The release of the trio has raised hopes among U.S. officials and family members that American reporter Jill Carroll

I am on the record as saying that the abduction of Jill Carroll is bogus and that Ms. Carroll is in bed with the jihadis...........

Stupid, idealistic twerp.........

[marmar]

They are white washed grave stones.......they are nothing but dead mens bones. I know our Warriors and even the British Troops, I have served with both and served both. They are the true Heroes........
