abducted by terrorists
"Palestinian gunmen ambushed a car carrying a Fox News crew in Gaza City on Monday and kidnapped two of the journalists inside, according to witnesses and Fox. "We can confirm that two of our people were taken against their will in Gaza," Fox News said in a statement.
A Fox employee in Gaza, who declined to give his name because he was not authorized to release information about the incident, said the two kidnapped people were reporter Steve Centanni, a U.S. citizen, and his cameraman, Olaf Wiig from New Zealand.
The men, along with a bodyguard, were parked near the headquarters of the Palestinian security services when two trucks filled with gunmen pulled up and boxed them in, according to the employee. The gunmen took the two out of their sports utility vehicle, which was marked "TV," and drove away, he said.
Major militant groups in Gaza denied having any connection to the abduction, and there was no immediate word of any demands made".
My only comment about this is that we are at war, in a war of a new type, which the bureaucrats refuse to understand and ackknowledge.
Beside the usual prayers, we need to rescue them with superior firepower.
Prayers alone don't suffice.
We also need blunt and lethal force against the terrorists.
And remember, the kasstro boys are terrorists too, when Osama bin Laden was playing with camel dung in Arabia, they were setting off bombs and killing people in Cuba.

Keep on coming by, FreeCyprus, it's our pleasure to have you around!
Charlie, the text comes from Reuters wires doesn't it? I've read this before :p
Anyway, I hope those men are returned to their families. Journalists are inocent, dammit!
The text came from a press pool, I think that it was Al-Reuters, the voice of Hezbollah....
Being American in the Middle East is a bad business token right now, and those Moors don't understand about journalism and anything else. They think all societies are like theirs, I hope for their safe return too. But I think that we will have to rescue them.
LONDON, Feb. 6 - "Behead the one who insults the prophet," read one placard a Muslim protester held at a weekend demonstration here against cartoon depictions of Islam's prophet Muhammad. "Butcher those who mock Islam," and "Be Prepared for the Real Holocaust," read other signs. One demonstrator wore a mock suicide vest, seven months after four suicide bombers killed themselves and 52 These protesters are now at the center of an impassioned debate here about whether British police should arrest them for inciting violence. Moderate Muslim leaders have joined in condemning the extremists and calling for their arrest. Let us be clear," David Davis, a leader of the opposition Conservative Party, said Monday. "Placards carrying the slogans calling for people who insult Islam to be 'beheaded' or 'massacred' or 'annihilated' are direct incitements to violence." Davis added, "I do expect that action should be taken against those who have clearly incited violence, and taken soon."
In 1928 Hitler’s Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, said in public the following words:
“We go into the Reichstag (Germany’s Congress) in order to acquire the weapons of democracy from its arsenal. We become Reichstag deputies in order to paralyze the Weimar democracy with its own assistance. If democracy is stupid enough to give us the free travel privileges and per Diem allowances for this service, that is its affair. We will take any legal means to revolutionize the existing situation. If we succeed in putting sixty to seventy agitators of our party into the various parliaments in these elections, then in the future the state itself will supply and finance our fighting machinery. One should not believe that parliamentarism is our final goal. We come as enemies! Like the wolf tearing into the flock of sheep, that is how we come. Now you are no longer among yourselves!”
Those were fateful words indeed and a terrible warning that went unheeded.
As we now know, at that time no one in Germany listened or paid little attention to those words. For their deafness and ignorance, the world paid a terrible price in human lives as subsequent events proved just a few years later exactly what he meant by them.
Today the world news organizations reports are filled with incidents where in England the USA and other countries of Europe, some of the Muslim clerics in their mosques are preaching the violent overthrow and destruction of western democracy every day while claiming to speak in the name of Islam. And today certain countries among them Iran, are clamoring and threatening to erase other countries from the map, while claiming that the destruction and horror visited upon the Jewish people during the Holocaust, did not even take place and is a lie. These enemies of peace are seeking desperately to obtain nuclear weapons and let no one doubt that once they have them, they mean to use them in pursuit of their aims. The president of Iran is openly calling for the destruction of Israel while the western democracies seem to be helpless to stop them from getting nuclear weapons technology.
And again everyone is paying little or no attention to their hateful words. While they take advantage of our freedoms and misuse our democratic rights, these merchants of death and hate, continue to preach their hateful and vitriolic words, poisoning the minds of the naïve and the discontented among their religious followers. And what are our democracies doing? They sit by idle and allow this terrible state of affairs to continue unchecked. We listen to them on TV, the news agencies continue to report it and our governments, perhaps with the single exception of the USA, continue to ignore them and do nothing about it.
History seems to be repeating itself and if this trend continues unchecked, there will be a high price to be paid in human lives in the near future. It never ceases to amaze how democracies are unable and seem helpless to defend themselves when they are faced with these types of threats. These so called Islamic clerics (actually terrorists in disguise) are allowed to spread their hatred from their pulpits, and avail themselves of the freedom of religion rights granted by our governments to our citizens in the very heart of our nations, while seeking to destroy what is most sacred and dear to us: our freedoms. And we seem to be paralyzed and unable to take any action to stop it. Why is this so?
Why haven’t these prophets of hate been deported to their countries of origin? The great majority of them were not born in England, the European continent, the USA or in any of the countries in which they reside. They immigrated to these countries of their own will, and acquired citizenship or permanent residency under false pretenses, cloaking and hiding themselves behind their religion to spew their hate and we gladly granted them those very rights which they now so diligently seek to destroy.
Where is the Winston Churchill of our day when we need him? He was the only politician in England at the time Goebbels’ words were spoken, to speak up and warn the world what the Nazis were up to. For his bravery at the time, he was ridiculed and scorned as a warmonger by his peers. In the end, when the Second World War and all its horrors were visited upon us, he was proven right all along.
Maybe Mr. Blair should review his history books and pay more attention to what is going on and being said around the country before is too late and like in the Germany of the 1930’s, the world will end up paying a heavy price for its ignorance and naïveté. How many more attacks and how many more innocent lives will have to be lost, until our elected representatives wake up and take some kind of action to expel these false merchants of hate from within our respective countries?.
It took the jolt from the attacks in London to wake up Mr. Blair from his blissful complacency and finally address the issue of the religious hate merchants in England. He is now seeking legislation to prevent these clerics from entering the United Kingdom and to deport those living there now, to their original countries of origin.
Freedom of religion is a sacred right granted by our constitutions, but we cannot allow it to be used by those who hate us and seek to destroy the western democracies to hide behind it, while our societies watch passively and wait for their hatred and violence to finally do us in.
If these clerics practice their religion in peace, that is one thing. But preaching and clamoring for our death and destruction while they live among us, while at the same time enjoying our religion freedoms to do it, this should be totally unacceptable. It is high time we put a stop to this practice. Deportation to their countries of origin will be a good start to put our respective houses in order. All of us know that they will never allow this state of affairs to exist if by some horrible twist of fate, may God forbid, they were to triumph over us. In the final analysis, in their eyes we are all “infidels”. The writing is on the wall; we are ignoring it at our own peril.
Welcome Agustin!
Yes deportation of everyone in the family of a terror suspect could be a great beginning!
