GHAZNI, Afghanistan (AFP) – The Taliban Saturday freed two women among 21 South Korean hostages held in Afghanistan as a “gesture of goodwill,” a spokesman for the militia told AFP.

“Our leadership council decided to free unconditionally and as a gesture of goodwill two women hostages who are sick,” said spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi.

A second spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahed, confirmed the two women had been released.

I wish I hadn’t been so busy in the past two weeks, otherwise, I would’ve had more time to blog about this horrifying case of at least 21 Korean relief workers who were taken prisoner in Afganistan by Taliban terrorists…

These Koreans were borderline retarded to go there.

Just rude.

Missionaries do nothing more than improve the quality of life of those they touch. You should get to know missionaries in the field before you so harshly make such a statement. I for once would love to see someone who makes such a statement leave the easy chair and visit a third world country and feed some hungry children. You will see people drop the religion and love from pure hearts. I am glad these people went with good intentions. If you want to criticize anyone, call the evil that men do evil and the good that men do good.

My prayers and sympathy toward the hostages. The worst part of it is that the Tailban/terrorists know how to milk the meek. God knows how many bucks will be forked over by South Korean publicly — with maybe a regular stipend under the table as insurance against future Korean kidnapping. I’m EXTREMELY perturbed by the near total lack of loud mass protest among the Muslim and Islamic communities worldwide about this, even right here. They know what we’re all up against and the danger. This was a time for moderate Muslims to strut their voices and it’s not even the squeak of a mouse. If they complain that Americans are being oversuspicious or even paranoid about their communities and religion they better check out their responses to what’s going on. And we better damn sure stay vigilant on the home front, PC be damned.

God save the enlightened Muslim females over there if we pull out.

So far all we get from the Muhammad worshipers are further lessons in Islam depravity

Don’t forget… this is BUSH’s fault!

Of course it is, if we hadn’t gone into Iraq, the Taliban wouldn’t be kidnapping Christians in Afgahnistan.

And I’m pretty sure the drinks at the drive-in stunt is somehow tied to bush and Iraq too.

PB, exactly these captors are Pigs x 10.
jrl, yep. The morons throwing drinks at the drive thru window are getting more attention.

Yep, I watched that last night on the Malkin-less Factor. I am not even sure if Bill O’ has even mentioned this one time. I do not watch him unless I know MM-80 is going to be on. Even then, I have the mute button ready for the re-runs.

I do pray GOD grants favor and mercy to these precious people.

I sure would like to know how liberals reconcile this with the “radical Christianity is as bad as radical Islam”!

It must have something to do with the lack of ability to turn the other cheek when you are dead.

the first face-to-face meeting with South Korean officials could take place as early as Thursday.

Any chance the Soth Korean Marines will go along for “morale” support?

As soon as the hostages are freed, this Taliban controlled area should be levelled. Every Tent, Shack, or cave levelled.

Nothing more than a band of thugs and MS-13 wannabe’s. Allah’s will my a*@!!
