Why is it not a shock...

That the MSM has failed to cover the story of the German hostage Susanne Osthoff who was recently freed by her Iraqi "kidnappers." The worst kept secret was that the German government, doing it's best French imitation, paid ransom to the kidnappers and made a deal to release the murder of Navy diver Robert Stethem -Mohammad Ali Hammadi.

Now however, we find out, immediately after being freed, while she was taking a shower in the German embassy, some of the money paid in ransom was discovered in her baggage and clothing. That's right - the serial numbers matched the bills given to the "kidnappers."

Hmmm.... She converted to Islam, was "kidnapped", then she's filmed talking about how her kidnappers weren't "criminal" because they couldn't get in the green zone to "kidnap Americans."

I say the next time she's "kidnapped" we talk the Germans into letting the followers of the religion of peace keep her. Promise them they can keep France the next time they take it.

Gotta wonder if the Germans hold any other murders of Americans in their prisons....

Reuters has a brief blurb about the "freedom fighters" ($1 to mikey moore), so far haven't seen a thing elsewhere.
