"arrived in Libya a week ago"
How'd that happen?
"Fervent and effective prayers for the press corps......"
By joining the press corps, he may have elevated them all to a hostage status. If Qaddafi doesn't get out of town safely he may have condemned them all. Qaddafi must have been thrilled to have a US Congressman under his control.
Qaddafi loyalists are cornered and the rebels may be under no compunction to back off and begin standoff negotiations.
This may take a special forces extraction, not likely to end peacefully.

Maybe they should have chosen to go to Israel instead.

I wonder what this clown was really up to. Heading to an active war zone? I really hope we let him over there and don't risk live to save this guy. He is a radical POS.
Fauntroy views the grassroots conservative Tea Party movement as a racist political group. In an August 26, 2010 article by ABC, Fauntroy said, "We are going to take on the barbarism of war, the decadence of racism, and the scourge of poverty, that the Ku Klux -- I meant to say the Tea Party," Fauntroy told a news conference today at the National Press Club. "You all forgive me, but I -- you have to use them interchangeably."

As out of whack as his politics may be, I believe he is a sincere Christian minister. Praying for his safety.

Eleanor Norton Holmes, Fauntroy's successor, notes, "Mrs Fauntroy did not know the circumstances of Reverend Fauntroy's visit to Libya. He told her of the trip only shortly before his departure in order to prevent her from worrying."
The State Department was also completely unaware of his plans. This is a major complication for all.
It is unlikely that his "Fervent prayers" will have much sway in muslimville. We can only hope that he does as well as Daniel. My prayers will be for the Special Forces that may have to rescue him from the lethal position he put himself into.
His vigilante peace mission could likely cause a great deal of unpeaceful violence. The rebels are certainly itching to finish this fight.

Well said, and I had to smile at the adroit use of language.
'Unpeaceful violence' - why, that's the worst kind!
