Aug. 29: South Korea held hostage

*South Korea held hostage
The Taliban have released 19 South Korean church
volunteers they held hostage in Afghanistan. The
ransom: South Korean’s foreign policy. South Korea has
pledged to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by
year’s end and also end its missionary work there.
Now held hostage: The entire population of South
Korea.

*Will they go back?
Yesterday's Boston Globe had a column asking whether the group of newspeople, historians, etc. will go back on any new radio show Don Imus might have. They shouldn't. Enough silent sanctioning of hatred.
