Once again, the US media has buried an important fact:
Iraq’s largest Sunni Muslim group calls for release of hostages
or here:

“The Iraqi Islamic party calls the kidnappers to release them because continuing to hold them will give those who support the war against our country a chance to say that Iraqi’s don’t make a difference between those who support them and those who are against them.”

“The kidnapping will have a grave negative effect among those who call for ending occupation. There are some who are trying to tarnish the clear white image of our religion.”

According to Bush, the insurgents are former Baathists and Saddam loyalists (Sunnis), yet here the Sunnis announce they are not behind the kidnappings, in fact they believe it’s done to tarnish Islam, just like the beheadings last year…

Christian Peacemakers working to end the occupation are kidnapped- Who Benefits? Those that do not want an end to the occupation: The military-industrial complex, the Iraqi puppet gov’t, Israel.

It’s far more likely that the kidnappers are working for one of the above in a covert PR campaign to make the Iraqis look like brutal savages and thus bolster support for continuing the war.
