Which ever company these journalists work for, let's hop and pray that they will return safely. It must be an awful ordeal for them whoever they are and whatever their political affiliations.

As you say, good luck to him.

Any capitulation to thugs results in more of the same.
Maggie Thatcher knew this, and that dried up the effect of many similar actions.
We must all observe, as did this Italian, and having seen, we must learn, if we have not already, just what it is we are dealing with.
God bless our British lads and lasses in Afghanistan, along with their allies.
Now they are their lets hope their actions bring the swift resolution of the regions problems, yet I doubt if military means will suffice.
