I think it's fairly noteworthy that so much time and energy was
devoted to the release of those 3 idiots. Well, actually, I have a
slight bit of sympathy for the 'journalist' but those other two should
be brought up on charges for causing this mess in the first place by
unnecessarily entering a war zone.

What's with the Japanese woman of the group in the news video?? What
the heck is she chewing on? You'd think she might manage a smile too.

I don't think I could have any LESS sympathy.
