NahnCee,

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.

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.

If those women were there to further anti-American sentiment, then let Gore get them out privately.

Well, let those women live (or die) by their media principles. Those women, including the one in Iran, are not Ameicans – by their choice – they are Media. Next time send Katie Couric. Schadenfreude, anyone?

Yeah, I’m not in favor of expending any effort to rescue anyone who thinks of themselves as “Citizens of the World”. Go ask the UN for help.

I, for one, kind of hope that they decide to keep him [AlGore]. Both for personal reasons…

It’s clear that some of the posts in this thread indicate that these journalists deserve what they’ve gotten because the posters don’t like the political beliefs of the two ladies. And I’ll say the #56 agrees with me.

No you shouldn’t infer that I’m a liberal based on the handle Utopia Parkway. FWIW, I’ve posted at Belmont Club for probably three years. If you haven’t decided what my political views are by now I guess I haven’t made an impression on you. I know you’re not a liberal.
