The tribesmen are demanding one thousand dollars as ransom to release them.

ROTFLMCO! I hope none of these guys are with FOX, I've grown pretty fond of the journalists that have been on the front lines reporting from there.

I bet we could get 'em for a couple cases of peanut butter, not that they're worth that.

Whatever the ransom demands are, it's too much.

Let 'em rot...

Awwww, what a shame. I feel their pain. LOL They can keep them all. Just another reason for the world to hate the Taliban.

A large number of journalists are covering the war from areas controlled by the Northern Alliance.

Perhaps that US air attack on the NA wasn't an accident after all.

Judging from the replies so far...rather than send them money, maybe we should send them copies of The Ransom of Red Chief, and see if they change their minds....

You mean the Afghans didn't get the memo that they are journalists first and nationalists second?

What do they want to keep them hostage and not return them? Will they capture anymore? How much do they want from us? We should pay anything they want to keep them prisoners there!

Are any of these journalists in the clique that said they wouldn't tip off the U.S. Military of an ambush in lieu of a "scoop"? They knew the risks.....they took them. I guess they got their "scoop" firsthand.

So the network bosses should overnight the 1000 bucks and be done with it.

Capturing any available westerner for ransom has been S.O.P within the Muslim cult for over 500 years....The Barbary Coast pirates were the previous group and the Taliban the most recent.....Nothing new here.

It is sanctioned by their ghastly religion.
