[...] They might very well be lying about what they know, but if it’s true that the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades were involved, you’d expect Haniyeh to point it out. AAMB is the “military wing” of Hamas’s rival, Abbas’s Fatah party; pinning this on them would undermine his authority at a time when the international community is trying to prop him up while isolating the Hamas government. No demands have been made yet. I don’t want to panic but my mind is starting to wander to that video of Tucker and Menchaca. [...]

[...] Over at Hot air, Allah Pundit assumed out loud, for some reason, that FNC would not talk to the mutants. Nick Centanni indicated that they were. [...]

Looking For Steve Centanni…

Allah has more details. The San Jose Mercury-News interviews the Bay Area native’s family: Nicholas Centanni said that Steve’s love of travel and desire to tell human stories drives his passion for reporting overseas. “He is probably hoping his work…

We're all praying for their safety. Well, most of us are. I'm appalled by the nasty comments by many on the left who wish Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig ill simply because they are employed by FOX News. I don't remember any similar nasty remarks from conservatives when Jill Carroll was kidnapped. But mayby I overlooked something. Links and a few more observations are available here

This is so disturbing. Even if these guys survive, they are going through sheer hell right now. Do they have kids?

EFG, while your concern is valid, I believe they are negotiating heavily and trying to avoid a Jimmy Carter-era circus of “Day 1″, “Day 2″…..

I like Centanni. I hope they get those guys out in one piece.

Perhaps Murdoch should ask his new girlfriend Hillary what to do. Schmoozing Hillary might actually work in Murdoch’s favor. These slimeballs love to throw crumbs to Americans who have a negative slant on our country – Jesse Jackson comes to mind.

Maybe the Hillary connection is why they put the gun on Murdoch.

Catie, I heard that on O’Reilly too. And the first guest was the slimeball from CAIR, spinning his lefty lawyer-speak propaganda- Mr. Awad of Used Toilet Paper.

I believe it was CNN that chose not to report certain “inconvenient truths” about Iraq during the time of Saddam becasue they didn’t want to lose their access.

I hope that this kiddnapping doensn’t move Fox News in that direction.

On O’reilly last night he said he wouldn’t speak about it because they are working on getting their guys back. I’m assuming they are going to be let go soon.

I was wondering the same thing myself as it’s not been mentioned at all today. Yesterday afternoon on O’Reilly (well my time in Hawaii) his first guest started to say something about it and Bill said something to the affect that they wouldn’t be mentioning it as they were negotiating or something along those lines. Did see it on the crawl though of Headline News.

Amazing, I’ve been listening to the news on and off all day, and NO mention of this…

Even on Fox…

I don’t get it…

When American citizens are held hostage, that sould be an act of war against America, plain and simple, no matter who the Americans WORK for!! Jimmy Carter simply set a terrible precedent with 66 Americans held for 444 friggin’
days with the help of Mike wallace favorite interviewee
(the iranian current Iranian president)!

As an aside my seemlingly flippant behavior is in no way indicative of my true feelings on this situation. I have a feeling that this will amount to little or nothing. We’ve already seen, on multiple occasions, that the Palis are masters at controlling the media. If they kill two journalists they will erode some of the goodwill the press feels towards them. I do not think that any drastic measures will be taken against these two men.

On the other hand, I have have been wrong before. We just need to look at what the net gain for them will be. I don’t think harming these men will get them anything.

Jason’s post might be sarcastic?

Yes it is indeed sarcastic. I apologize for any confusion it may have caused.

A rule for my postings: If it sounds stupid, I’m being sarcastic. If it sounds really stupid I’m not.

Surely, they’re yukking it up in Koslamistan and DUmmieland.

I swear, we were smarter than them in kindergarten! Iblis said, and Catie96706 affirmed:

The only consolation is if the Islamists win, they’ll kill the DUmmies first.

While that sounds a bit consoling, I hope we rigorously fight and win this war, even if this pleasure would have to evade us.

If I was in Murdoch’s shoes, I would get word out to the Terrorist groups that either my reporters get set free NOW, or his news organizations would begin a 24/7 news campaign exposing terrorist lies, terrorist acts against humanity, stories exposing terrorist supporters/enablers, and they would soon be facing a renewed thrust targeted at their total destruction.

He could do that, and he should do that, but would he do it?

Anyway, I’m out of the loop on this one. I hope Steve’s family is alright. I hope he’s alright. And Olaf.

Man, I hate this garbage.

We DO NOT Negotiate with terrorist!!

Maybe we could negotiate this one with extreme prejudice. You know: bullets. But whatever.

We have soooo many enemies within that I sometimes wonder how we’ll win. Thank God for Hotair and other truthful news sources that keep us informed of the insanity going on in the MSM and the evil side of the blogosphere. Fox News reporters are special targets to the Muslofascists since they spread the truth.

The frustration can be overwhelming, especially when the stakes are so high. Prayers are important at times like these, and I send mine to Steve, Olaf and their families.

Yes, let’s pray for them & their families but sadly I also saw other comments where some of our more “tolerant” friends said they would pay to see Sean Hannity beheaded, I guess people like Jason G would agree. What a sad, sorry bunch of sack of sh*ts we have living in this country who actually want to see people die. As others have said–you slimeballs will be the first to lose your heads when they come for us.

Well of course this one is different. This has KKKarl Rove’s fingerprints all over it.

Now can Israel start using those Catepillar ‘dozers to turn under the Pali occupied areas. Flatten the entire area. Leave them no place to live, hide, breathe.
