25,000 and counting

Over 25,000 people have signed the online petition in Arabic and English, demanding freedom for the four members of Christian Peace-Keeper Teams, who were taken hostage in Iraq. The petition was begun Dec. 1 and it is now seven days later, and that is an amazing amount of signatures. And its still not too late to add your name.

Canadian Muslims have been out spoken in defense of the CPT. Muslims appeal for westerners' freedom As have Palistinians who know them and their selfless work well. A Canadian Iman is in Baghad attempting to negogiate with the gangsters that have kidnapped them.Montreal man in bid to free hostages

Today is the eve that these defenders of the defenseless may face their last day alive. Fear grows for hostages as deadline looms The fascist thugs who have kidnapped them threaten to kill them tommorow. Their demands are unrealistic, and a feint, it is these very CPT members who have done more to help the imprisioned and detained in Iraq than the creeps who have kidnapped them.

The current so called resistance movement in Iraq is not, it is a fascist movement, as are all those who support either Al Quaida, or the Sunni and Shite militias. The Americans and their puppet government in Iraq are directly to blame for the CPT plight. For having falsely imprisoned hundreds of innocent Iraqi's. For the abuse they have suffered at the hands of the American Empire and the Iraqi State. As new evidence has shown in the media the New Democratic State in Iraq has tortured, abused, killed and secretly detained Iraqis for poltical purposes.

This is the situation that these brave souls, two Canadians amongst them, stepped into to side with the oppressed, and the families of the detained. Those who kidnapped them are the lowest of the low, and in good company with the Bush Administration, and the Iraqi Government.

If anyone thinks this so called resistance movement and its civil war in Iraq is about bettering the conditions of the Iraqi people, this incident should dispell that illusion. Anyone who would do this to those who support the people and oppose war and imperialism are fascists.
