Anti-War Activists Rescued By Special Forces In Iraq
The three rescued activists were Canadians James Loney, 41, Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, and Briton Norman Kember, 74. These three members of the Chicago-based Christian Peacemaker Teams were kidnapped on Novemeber 26 with their American colleague, Tom Fox, 54. Fox's body was discovered earlier this month.
Michelle Malkin writes about the ungratefulness of these left wing anti-war activists. She quotes a reader of her website that viewed the Christian Peacemaker Team's website and noted an important detail.
Not once do they thank or even reference the fact that a Special Forces team rescued these guys. In fact, the only reference to military at all is blaming them for the kidnapping in the first place. Nice!Also on their home page is a long statement about how terribly treated terrorists are when detained by evil soldiers.
Another reader wrote a letter to the Christian Peacemaker Team:
Congratulations on the safe return of your activists. I'm sorry they did not all make it home safely. I read your press release relating the "release" of the activists; please note that they were not released, they were rescued. The term release implies that their captors let them go. You know that is not true, they were rescued by a team of American and British soldiers who risked their lives to free people whom apparently have no gratitude for their actions. It is one thing to be against war and the actions of our military (I'm not justifying that position, just acknowledging your right to it), but another to deny when they SAVED YOUR ASS!!!! Are you so insecure in your position that you think even acknowledging your people were rescued, not "released" would undermine your whole message that the military serves no useful purpose? Actually, I think you are correct in your assumption, so I guess you should stick to your story lest any of your supporters start to use logic and reason to dissect your beliefs. Where would you be then? I guess you might have to begrudgingly join the rest of society who realizes that a strong military is the best defense of a free nation against tyrants and terrorists who are out to destroy us and our way of life. God bless you, and I hope you quit sending your hippies to WAR regions risking not only their lives but the lives of the soldiers who end up having to secure their "release" by RESCUING them.
I say they send those left wing ungratefuls back into captivity.

Damn. I may disagree with their politics or rhetoric, but that's just pushin' it.
No American not suspected/convicted of crimes needs to be held in captivity - especially by Islamic radicals.
