Holding down those who you don't know just for attention or just to bring light to your own issues does not work. It throws everything askue, and people look for safety before anything else.
With deep concern I must share my regret that the Swords of Truth Brigade have taken hostage some of the most important people trying to help the bring peace to the people of Iraq. I have spent much time with a man who has been part of this group and has recently returned from Iraq after his third long term trip to that country. We worked with many others in the United States to help stop the war. These people are certainly not U.S. spies. They want to bring people together for peace. They reject war, violence and cruelty.
There are millions in the United States who are against war and those who have been captured are at the highest level of those against war. Please do not spoil the antiwar effort by harming these gentle peacemakers. I pray for the release of these peaceful people and an end to the conflicts in Iraq.
My work as a member of (US) Veterans for Peace has shown mw that the US public has wants an early withdrawal. Killing these peace workers will only give fuel to warmongerers.
The CPT team you are holding captive are NOT spies. They are genuine in their opposition to war and injustice. There are millions of Americans who opposed this war and tried to stop it from before it began. We are not all your oppressors.
Please release the CPT workers as they have been against this atrocious war from the
start and are only interested in helping Iraqi people
survive the horrendous situation that is the fault of the U.S. government
NOT THE C.P.T.
Before you take the lives of these few people brave and devoted people, consider this. They have already given thier lives in service to you and your people, they do this everyday out of the only reason that truly matters love for all Humanity.
