he's still Australian.

 

[LaraB]

he's still Australian.

yes but at the same til think 7th sign has a point.... except for the "the gov obviously paid off the terrorists" bit coz well...there's not proof...

but yeah..he went there voluntarily, he knew it was still dangerous...bad as it is that he was captured its a lot of resources and time and media attention for a guy who went there of his own accord knowing the risks...

and yes, he's "australian" in a sense... but if he ain't living here then i mean its not really important as he's chosen to live in a country other than australia...

it'd be like NZ coming to Russell Crowe's aid with his violent stupidty... yes he was born there but he's not a NZ'er in practice...

 

[withoutaface]

fucking pigs.

they gave there fuckign word, they said if we didnt meet there demands the fucking cunt willl be killed.

why did they break their word?

what sort of people are these?

Fucking scum - absolute fucking scum bags.

Hahahahhahahahaha. Keep up the good work. <3

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Ok, in response to morons.

- The government didn't pay off the terrorists, they have 2 of them in custody.
- He's very much so Australian, who cares what nationality he is anyway tho?
- He did not deserve to die.

what did sheik hilayli do then?

what did sheik hilayli do then?

Not a lot.

 

[leetom]

The Sheik went in there and did some talking around, his position an an Islamic cleric having some impact. His involvement softened up the Shira Council, as they were quite prepared to listen to one of their own. I think that without the Sheik, Wood would have been quickly disposed of.

 

[zahid]

Not a lot.

You are an idiot.

 

[soha]

Not a lot.

well he did what he could

I am sorry dick. That is not what my sig says.

How else are they going to "resist" the "occupation" then? I'm sure those that captured Mr Wood thought they were resisting the occupation.

Lets get one thing straight here. The US have no right to be in Iraq.

.....sniff sniff....can you smell WMD?...because I can't.

How about I come around your place and piss on the floor? Would you like that?

its occupation...and they can resist any way they wish.

Before we all start congratulating the various groups that made an effort (all did as much they could given the circumstances, and nobody could ask for anymore), just remember that the details surrounding his release remain sketchy and that the efforts of one group shouldn't be praised beyond those of another at the current time (or above 'blind' luck, as the commentator suggests).
