Fox Hostage Deadline

Apparently FOX news journalists have been taken hostage in Gaza City and the deadline has just passed today. Did anyone else know about this?

Rupert must be having a fit!

Hostage deadlines apparently are not followed very strictly.

Dead?

Apparently not. The Palestinians think they'll be released. Let's not forget about that other news lady that got caught over there and eventually let go. She had the same 72-hour deadline as them and they didn't follow through...and now she's home.

But then again...they do work for Fox, so...

Why hasnt Jack Bauer been sent in to rescue these hostages and leave a trail of dead bodies in his wake?

Because it'd take him more then 24 hours. DUH!

Peewee Herman > Jack Bauer.

Reports are that they have now been freed.

Bah, pussy terrorists. If I were them I'd have held the hostages indefinitely until they equated a small, grey basement with home.

Wassat? You would have held them indefinitely? There are better ways to get hugs you know.
