I want this to be over. I can't stand to hear any more stories like this. I feel so horrible for the people over there, and their families. they must be so frightened.

6. Chalk up another one for Bush

As the world continues to spin out of control on his watch.

I have to admit a sick fascination about where the black ops vs Al-Queda, etc. threads will go on this one.

[kimchi]

15. You are so right!

Everyone knows that no terrorists existed before 9/11!

I know I feel so much safer now that Bush has lied so he could slaughter innocent Iraqis and torture the remainder. THAT's the way to win hearts and minds, alright! You are with us or against us, and the chaos only means the war is being won! Bring it on!

10. My heart cries for this family

I can't even imagine the agony this family has had to endure over the past few days. This is heart wrenching. When will this madness stop. I have a few acquaintances in SA. They have loved being there and have had nothing but great things to say about the people and the culture. I can only hope they are on their way home.

12. Why the fuck do they have to BEHEAD everybody?

If it was alQaeda or whoever the fuck it was -- they are fucking inhuman bastards who need to be hunted down like fucking dogs and executed publicly.

I'm a dove who is getting pretty damn pissed off about this.

US firm spread hostage video - Silicon Valley Land Surveying Incorporated


Berlin - Video images of a US engineer taken hostage in Saudi Arabia, possibly by the al-Qaeda network, could have been put on the internet via a US firm based in California, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Thursday.

The video was released on Tuesday and shows relatively high-quality film of hostage Paul Johnson, who kidnappers from a group called "al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" have threatened to kill by Friday.

The origin of the video was traced to Silicon Valley Land Surveying Incorporated, a California land surveying and mapping company, said Spiegel online, the internet service for the respected German weekly.
