'Best gift' for hostage parents
The parents of released British hostage Mark Henderson are preparing to receive the "best gift" they could dream of - his Christmas homecoming. BBC

Student held in Iraq released
A 21-year-old British student who was held captive in Iraq after allegedly trying to join an extremist group has been released and is now back in the UK BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tees/3343927.stm
Guess which one got endless MAJOR NATIONAL TV coverage with interveiws / shots of parents anxiously waiting to hear news...
clue: it wasn't the release of Urslaan Khan...[received only local news coverage on UK North East news...where Urslaan accused the both the US army of bias firstly in arresting him because he was a bearded muslim and the British media for inconsisencies in reporting his release compared to Mark Hendersons release from Columbian revolutionaries...]
Now take a look at the scaremongering story from the TIMES written at the time of Urslaan Khans arrest
"Mr Khan is the first Briton to be arrested in Iraq for having alleged links with groups responsible for ambushing the US-led multinational force.Saba Rhader Kerem, a spokesman for the Kurdish forces who arrested Mr Khan, said "He had his British passport with him but he could not give a reason for being here. A routine patrol stopped him about four weeks ago. "
Briton arrested in Iraq 'as he tried to join terrorist group'

Any young Muslim who is concerned about the situation and perhaps wants to see for themselves the situation... and learn from the situation [Urslaan Khan was a student of Arab studies] are accused of being terrorists...
It seems anyone who wants to better his or her mind is a terrorist threat...
Urslaan Khan was brave for wanting to go and see with hi own eyes the situation in Iraq
as was Ken O'Keefe and his campaign for a human sheild...
WE ARE ALL BEING TOLD TO STAY AWAY
DO NOT SEEK THE TRUTH
FOR YOU WILL BE THE ENEMY
all the best to everybody...
let's hope for a better year next year
love and peace

moral compass??!!

The moral compas quip is cute still.
As if there were a question of choice between A.one who volunteers to play that game on either side and B. one who is abducted by either side.
but you would claim hes lost a compass? who needs a compas in this case. One blows in the face of decency, the other is about lousy timing and location.
But it does play into victimhood rather better than attending to a story where they are we.
the amazing part is tht some people are so taken by these eternal truths.
