U.S. Hostage Hamill Escapes in Iraq AP - May 2, 2004

BAGHDAD, Iraq - American hostage Thomas Hamill, kidnapped three weeks ago in an insurgent attack on his convoy, was found by U.S. forces Sunday south of Tikrit after he apparently escaped from his captors, the U.S. military said. [...]

Hamill's wife, Kellie, spoke to her husband early Sunday by telephone. She said Hamill told her that he was locked in a building

"He said he heard a military convoy come by and pried the door open. He said he ran half a mile down the road and got with the convoy," Kellie Hamill said. [full story]

What a relief for his family. Now let's pray that somehow Private Maupin and all other hostages get outta there.

Unbelievable footage (if it's real). I say nuke em all! Clean up and get the hell out of that hell hole of a country.

PS - You sure ARE one hell of a tall drink of milk - and mighty fine looking to boot!

Bigoted people like you are the cause of all these problems because you always try to justify your point of view no matter how different the facts are; but at least you should try to get the basic facts right. I'll just touch one of them: the people of Darfour are OVERWHELMINGLY Muslims. With your sweeping brush you tried to point to that as an atrocity of Muslims against others - whereas it is not at all a religious conflict. You have just demonstrated how bigoted you are - that is why you try to juxtapose cause and effect - trying to show that terrorism is the cause and not the effect.

What does Hamil's escape from Terrorists in Iraq have to do with the Darfour region of the Sudan?

This is a "basic fact." Yours is a distinction without a difference. To suggest that atrocities committed by Muslim terrorists have nothing to do with religion is utterly delusional.
