Excuse Me??????

Excuse Me ???? Could someone please tell me how the Iraqi terrorists come to the conclusion that holding the young female journalist hostage helps their position? Please explain to me how this can have anything but inflamatory results for them. Since we have neglected to give in to their demands the plan is now to execute this young woman,please tell me how this is going to further the terrorists position. We have stated without reservation that we do NOT negotiate with terrorists PERIOD. What makes them think that this is any different.How stupid are these people to keep trying a tactic that has been proven to NOT work. The United States needs to hunt down these offenders and give them more than they ever afforded their hostages, a fair trial and a stout rope at the end of it. Oh yeah I will volunteer to build the scaffold,tie the knot and pull the lever.
