From what I understand, yes the two journalists are Gore’s people. Therefore, there is a reasonable working assumption that whatever they intended to report was going to be anti-American.

For practical reasons as discussed above, their survival does not weigh in the balance compared to being further extorted on larger matters of national security. On a lesser level, working for their release will only have the effect of adding to the force of the Left’s anti-American spin machine.

Thus one could rationally see that it would be in our country’s interest for them to be abandoned as readily as this country has previously abandoned far more worthy citizens. Therefore, one can consider it to be highly likely that Buraq Hussein Obama will gladly fall into the trap of making them part of the central problem.

The entire impetus of his foreign policy has been to strengthen our enemies, and to insult and harm those who would otherwise be our allies.

Given that the two journalists have enlisted on the other side in our Cold Civil War; it could also be considered that as no longer being our countrymen, their continued survival is of no more concern to us than that of say the average North Korean.
