Uh, I think the Kidnappers must feel a bit stupid... Kidnapping someone and then being told by their leader to release them.. fine...

They certainly would have killed him were it not for the temporary truce in Najaf.

"Initially I was treated roughly, but once they knew I was a journalist I was treated very well and I want to say thank you to the people who kidnapped me."

I find that funny.

So all those truck drivers need to get a second job as journalists.

And what the fuck? He gets kidnapped by muslim extremists, and then gets told to join Islam later? Yeah, let's use it a recruitment tool.
