ought to have tried harder to get these hostages released before now.

It seems to me that the Brown adminstration is all hot air yet again.

  3. The British Government do not do deals with kidnappers.  Anyone who wishes to work in Iraq and/or Afghanistan in any civilian capacity, is free to do so, but they are advised to follow the advice from the British Foreign Office which spells out clearly the dangers of going to these countries to work.

    The British Foreign Office is working flat out to secure the release of the hostages but this cannot be done by direct negotiation with the hostage takers.  Instead, Mi6 will be working with it's contacts inside Iraq - this all takes time.

    You must not fall into the trap of believing that the UK.gov is doing nothing.

    We must be very careful what we say here - however I should spell it out to you thus.  Some security companies operating in Iraq and indeed in Afghanistan, are employing ex-SAS and other former special forces members.

    I'm not sure if all of these people are actually 'former' or are in fact still employed in some capacity working for sush as the SAS and/or Mi6/SIS - there's no way of knowing.

  4. I think they have been trying, it's just the media didn't have much of a story until Brown's statement, so they barely reported anything.

  5. I find it very difficult to support Brown on anything. We have here a propaganda video designed to embarrass the government , so I will not read to much into it to the discredit of Brown. Heartbreaking as it is for the families, he can not afford to let this video influence him towards agreeing to the demands. I am glad I personally do not have to cope with this. For once Brown has my support-- for the moment anyway

  6. I don't think they care about anyone other than themselves. They just "waffle" on trying to 'blind us all by science'. It's time they did something positive, after all, our boys and girls are out there defending us.

  7. Its completely shameful that they have been all but forgotten.

    When a journalist was kidnapped, every one went all out petitioning the government and putting pressure on them to get him released, these poor people seem to have been left.

    I hope that the report that one has committed suicide is not true, it would be so terrible, considering what they have already gone through
