These people are working on behalf of the people of Iraq -- in the most selfless and compassionate way. We need more of their kind and pray that you will see that they come with respect and peace in their hearts -- and that you will release them.
I have joined with
others in Alabama,
working against sanctions,
against the horrendous
war my country initiated.
But the work of CPT, of
Voices in the Wilderness is the
most committed peace work.
I pray for the release of these
peacemaking hostages.
Salaam, Judy Collins Cumbee
Whoever declares that an enemy exists, is an enemy to himself and all people. Your (and our) cause will only be better advanced by the honor and nobility that you would exemplify by releasing these people. Our current political leaders are animals - they act and react accordingly. Make them confused and give them their humanity back - release those who seek to help you. The only way to create a beautiful peaceful world is to be beautiful and peaceful.
Please recognize that these four people are working for peace and the good of the Iraqi people even though they happen to be US citizens.
Please, please spare them.
Please release our friends from CPT - they are in Iraq to sincerely and genuinely help in ending the Illegal US/UK Occupation thru peaceful means, and by always respecting the wishes of the Iraqi People.
We agree completely with your demands for the release of illegally detained Iraqi Prisoners, and CPT Workers fully support this cause and continue to work for its success.
For these reasons it is clear to us that you are holding your Allies from CPT as hostages.
We ask for your humility in admitting this counter-productive action, and that you release them un-harmed as soon as it is safely possible to do so.
Thank You.
Peace Be Upon You.
This tears the very heart of peace.. Free these good people! Those who stand for peace, are friends to all humankind.
Honor the spirits of Margaret Hassen and Rachel Corrie... too many already have died.
While I support the struggle against the death, indignity, and injustice of this war, this is the wrong way to act. The Christian Peacemakers are allies in the struggle, and you want them on your side. Please release them immediately.
