Fox News Reporters Freed After $2 Million Was Paid To Terrorists
FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU
Fox News reporters
freed for $2 million
Terrorists used cash for arms to 'hit Zionists,'
payment said to encourage more abductions

Steve Centanni of Fox News

JERUSALEM – Palestinian terror groups and security organizations in the Gaza Strip received $2 million from a United States source in exchange for the release of Fox News employees Steve Centanni and Olag Wiig, who were kidnapped here last summer, a senior leader of one of the groups suspected of the abductions told WND.

The terror leader, from the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees, said his organization's share of the money was used to purchase weapons, which he said would be utilized "to hit the Zionists."

He said he expects the payments for Centanni and Wiig's freedom will encourage Palestinian groups to carry out further kidnappings.

Officials associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party and its security organization, the Preventative Security Services, confirmed to WND money was paid for the release of the Fox News reporters.

1. Apparently Fox negotiates with terrorists...good to see hypocrites finding good work
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 10:46 PM by NOLADEM
They act just like good little chickenhawks. Advocate no surrender, no negotiations, but when your ass is on the line, give the terrorists $2M.

Had I known, I would have scraped together $3M to keep them there.

5. Thus they are guilty of aiding the enemy in time of war...
...and are themselves terrorists. Off to Guantanamo!

Ciao, baby! See you in the cages!

8. A big point is missing here. This could not have been done without the
Bush administration's blessing...otherwise, it's aiding and abetting the enemy and treason.

11. More to the point...
The source is 'World Net Daily'.

It's a right-wing fabricator. They spew so much bullshit that America's grasslands suffer severe attrition everytime they print a story.

Just look at the ads on the page.

6. I wonder if they got the interesting tidbit on Hamas attacks on the US

7. Does the flip-flop news employ actual reporters???
I thought they just had ho's and hacks.
Glad the reporters are coming home. Sad the $2mil will buy weapons to kill Americans that aren't whores for a propaganda network.

10. Oh.My.Goodness.
Happy they are safe but...

Funneling money directly TO terrorists? Unbelievable.

<snip>

"We used 100 percent of the money for one precise goal – our war against the Zionists," the Committees leader said.

He said weapons purchased included rockets.

"Regarding the others (the Dugmash clan of the Committees) who received the money, I can tell you one thing is very clear – this went also to be used against the Zionists. I can't say every cent went to buy bombs, maybe it also went to pay for salaries, smuggling, buying shelter."

<snip>

And the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades?? Holeee Shite!

12. So far the source is World Net Daily....
They're a RW hit-site.

You'll find as much truth there as you'll find 'skinny' on Rush.

14. even a blind pig
finds a truffle now and again.

they can be right wing and still not share the ideology of aiding the the enemy. and perhaps steal a little market share in the process.

17. I agree.
But pigs don't find truffles with their eyes.

And this one smells funny.
