It's going to get a lot worse too. He said he was pretty well situated with food and water, but if he hadn't gotten out now, I'm not sure conditions on the ground will permit extractions a few days from now if everything keeps deteriorating.

Nikki Robertson?? LOL?

If it were him, we could all relax as I'm sure they're just enjoying some team and hummus.

We can only hope those taken are from our MSM!!

Hezbolla accused the kidnapped journalists of being spies ... the liberal MSM is on their side, so it couldn't possibly be one of them.

Apparently, Hezbollah is "arresting" a lot of "spys", accusing dozens of Lebanese people of helping Israel target their objectives, according to a report I saw last night in a Beirut newspaper.

Oh, no. A lot of good people will get caught up in that.

The way CNN has been covering this war they'll probably have exclusive footage of the kidnapping at 6, along with running commentary from Hezbollah's "press officer."

If true they'll be turned loose soon enough depending on the network they're working for. If they're french, the check is in the mail.

Our MSM would love it, better propaganda for the "oppressed resistance", and a Pulitzer when they are released.

Maybe the MSM will NOW name the Lebanon as having TERRORISTS..and should tell Kofi Annen.

I haven't heard of Israel kidnapping journalists.

I must admit that was the first thought that entered my mind upon seeing that headline.

Remember the reporter in the movie "Natural Born Killers"? Remember what happened to him in the end.

I think any journalist who wants to embed himself with muslim radicals needs to watch that movie before he goes on assignment.

After all, natural born killers are exactly what we are dealing with here.

You're encouraging terrorism against Americans? What a regrettable statement.

Civilized nations do not "kidnap" adversaries. They may capture them as POW's, or arrest them for breaking the law. But.......then again I'm talking about civilized..

And if not, you can bet they'll each develop a nasty case of Stockholm Syndrome.
