So you're not bent out of shape or irritated.
What was your purpose for starting this thread, then? :???:
Especially when you go on to say, "Shame on these people." Drama queen or not, that seems pretty indicative of someone who is irritated.


Not so?




BTW... the 25th is still two days after the statement of gratitude was issued. It still seems abundantly clear the author of your article had an ax to grind.

I think you're grasping at straws here, Cal.
No, I think you're grasping at straws here trying to discredit a columnist, and if you're not careful you'll have your broom picked clean and end up walking. :lol:

An article is first posted on the internet on the 25th and you're certain it was written and submitted on the 24th? Besides CPT website being edited? You've got nothing but a burning desire to always have the last word.

Don't weaken Cal :lol2: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Criminey.

Another quick Google search revealed this:

Norman Kember, Harmeet Singh Sooden and Jim Loney were immediately grateful to those who set them free. The London Times reported a local security official noting Norman Kember's thanks. Pat Kember thanked all involved. Family friend and fellow activist Bruce Kent relayed CPT's "unqualified gratitude" on BBC Radio 4. James Loney has issued his own statement of thanks. Christian Peacemaker Teams in Chicago and Toronto put out two statements on the same day as the release of their three colleagues. The one in the evening was specifically about their gratitude and regretted any impression to the contrary due to misinformed comments from some quarters. CPT spokespeople reiterated their thanks constantly.

Your columnist is well and truly discredited, and all it took was a few minutes on Google.
Now, I'm sure you're going to come up with another excuse why this can't possibly be true, but then that would define the phrase, "grasping at straws.". :wink:

More BS from your link: Not unreasonably they say that it is unfair to accuse them of requiring others to risk their lives when this is manifestly not so. They have no control over the actions of bodies like the army, the intelligence services and the FCO. For this reason, CPT worked with diplomats over the release issue, but not military personnel. CPT workers are prepared to risk their own lives where necessary, but they are scrupulously careful not to imperil others ­ even to their own cost.
