Fox News Hostages Release Imminent
The Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh claims that two Fox News employees held hostage in Gaza will be released within hours. For the sake of Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, we hope the reports are true.
Michelle notes that the 72 hour deadline has passed. Allah promises updates. We will do our best to keep abreast of this one too.
With the news that the families of murdred hostages Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley are suing Syria, I wonder if Wiig and Centanni's family have a case as well? Maybe not against Syria, but against states that support the PA? Oh, right, we support the PA too.

With a deadline looming in the case of two kidnapped Fox News journalists, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that he hoped the crisis would be resolved "in the coming hours."...Like I said yesterday, Hamas is setting this one up so that they come out looking like the good guys."We hope that this issue is going to be over in the coming hours," Haniyeh, a Hamas leader, said in a statement. "There are promises that the journalists will not be harmed. I hope that this case is going to be ended and solved in a way that reflects that the Palestinians respect their guests."
