Hopefully enough pressure is brought to bear to force their release. No place in the ME region is better than it was pre 9/11.
Well, a couple of those places got bombed a lot...

Its much worse after 2008, I wonder why that is? Perhaps our chump president has something to do with it.
He has a lot to do with it, let Grand Old Party accept their share of responsibility too USC! We have fourteen years of failed ME policy because of corporate influence in Washington which is pandered to by both parties and advances the interests of neither the citizens of the ME nor the US.
Evidence provided by the prosecution included footage from channels and events with nothing to do with Egyptian politics or al-Jazeera. It included videos of trotting horses from Sky News Arabia, a song by the Australian singer Gotye, and a BBC documentary from Somalia.

In all fairness...we cleaned the place up pretty nice when we were done.
Not our fault they wanted to try it themselves.
So our government is so corrupt that it can't do the right thing because of "corporate influence?" Three cheers for single term limits.
Any one care to explain what the hell the Al Jazeera staff got locked up for? I think I'd like to know that before I mindlessly get behind some random hashtag movement, even if the rest of the world doesn't.
Murikans though won't believe anything that comes from non US media!
:lol: Well Benghazi could have told ya that!!!!! Heya Monte. :2wave:
True that. Hi MMC, how ya doin buddy?
Good.....and you? Like I said I am glad to see ya back. I have been reading up where ya been. so far.
Have had to take care of some lightwork, last few days. But I have been keeping on top of things with Foreign Affairs.
Wasn't this the second time they took AJ journalists?
Been doin heavy work myself, lol. I never leave, just taken breaks. Yes, it's the third time. And everybody should find concern with this, not just when it happens to American journalists. It's suppression of press coverage no matter who is captive.
You deny corporate influence in DC, or just a fan of single term limits?
No I don't deny corporate influence but it shouldn't stop the congress critters from doing the right thing. I'm a huge fan of a single term limit for every elected office. I think it is the only way to put a dent in government corruption.
Congresscritters haven't done the right thing for decades and all polls demonstrate that Americans know this. We're just impotent to do anything about it.
No, we could fix it at the polls by removing all incumbents. We don't have the will or knowledge or motivation to do that.
