This may sound harsh, but fuck em!! Any foreigner still in Iraq is either mad or a paid mercenery e.g. like these 4, so-called security experts. I really object to Tony Blair or any minister trying to secure their release. They weren't in Iraq preaching the gospel, they were there to earn vast sums of money, upto 10 times more than an equivelent security guard in the UK.

doesn't sound harsh to me at all, sounds spot on!

These so called security companies have too much invested in the continued instability of Iraq. This is simply a by-product of the violence they profit from. No sympathy whatsoever.

I heard on the radio today the average time for a westerner walking about the streets b4 he is picked up by one kidnapper or other is 20 mins

100% spot one mate! they shouldn't be there in the 1st place!

I agree that they shouldn't be there but I hope they do make it out alive.......but somehow I doubt they will.

Good points above. Some extended thinking for moi.

When foreigners walk about armed to the teeth in somebody elses country the locals tend to get a bit pissed off, so im not suprised theyve been snatched up.
Still would be nice if theyre released or at least found alive if not they knew why they were getting the big money!!
