Took these evildoers long enough to give out information on them. I hope things turn out alright for them.

I wouldn't define them as journalists, as people like that need to be objective.  More like, propaganda makers, goebbels, etc.

Well, it is true that they were reporting the Palestinian story and that they were there because they wanted to share the Palestinian story, but I wouldn't agree with any of that. But no matter what you consider them, this is horrible, is it not?

Do not post if you're not going to contribute to the topic.
Do not describe them as goebbels.

Is this not the same as calling the people who have kidnapped them as 'evildoers'?
But I don't know wheter or not this is an evil act. I do no know the intend why they were kidnapped, what their demands are etc. Also in a war many terrible things happen, even to many innocent people, but sometimes it's a just cause or it's worth the sacrifice.

This, sir, is no act of war, or any just cause. These two men have no power. They are not soldiers. They are not politicians. They are merely innocent civilians there to do their job, and the terrorists who kidnapped these innocents are evildoers. How you cannot see this is beyond me. And calling them evildoers is far different from calling the journalists what you called them.
Their demands, btw, are the release of all Muslim prisoners being held in the US.

Well whether you think it is or not, it's really up to me to decide, and I decided it wasn't.
But I don't know wheter or not this is an evil act. I do no know the intend why they were kidnapped, what their demands are etc. Also in a war many terrible things happen, even to many innocent people, but sometimes it's a just cause or it's worth the sacrifice.
Clearly you didn't read the article, (or even the one sentence excerpt that was given to you) or else you would have known what the demands were. It is clear it is an evil act to kidnap innocent civilians, and its sad your conscience is so clouded that you have difficulty seeing that. So, don't post again unless, after reading the article, you plan on having a productive conversation. Otherwise, we really don't need you here.

I don't give damn who they are. This is horrible in any way.

Kidnapped Journalists Recall Chilling Abduction
Just watched the hour-long interview On the Record. It was a good interview, to say the least, and their story is really quite horrifying and heartbreaking, but at the same time heartwarming.
