- Good news concerning the CPT captives in Iraq: They were alive a week ago (at least):
- Kidnappers threatened in a new videotape broadcast Saturday to kill four Christian peace activists unless all Iraqi prisoners were released, saying they were giving the U.S. and Iraqi governments a “last chance” to save the hostages.
- The tape dated Jan. 21 and broadcast on Al-Jazeera showed the four men — two Canadians, an American and a Briton — standing near a wall . . . .
Bad news: Their captors continue to make demands that won’t be met.
