While the Christian Peacemakers Teams expressed joy at their colleagues' sudden rescue from captivity in Iraq today, the peace activists took the opportunity to also call for an end to the US-led occupation of Iraq.

Christian Peacemakers saved by 'Occupiers'... Oh, sweet irony

I tried to comment to their blog, but I received this: "Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval." Obviously, my thoughts will not be posted... Here's what I wrote this group:

I rejoice today in the release of your workers from captivity, but I cannot help feel discouraged by the comments made by Mr. Pritchard afterwards. After looking up your web site, his comments make perfect sense.

Obviously, Christian values are not your main motivation for the 'so-called' humanitarian stance your organization takes, but rather a political agenda guised in the aura of religious rhetoric. I'm no firm supporter of what is going on in Iraq, but it seems your group stands up for the worst of humanity at the expense of people who are really trying to effect change.

It is a diservice to Tom Fox, who died for your cause, and now the blame for his death is being shifted to the 'Occupation Forces'. I haven't heard one person in your group say that Mr. Fox's death was caused by Islamic radicals, but plenty insinuating that conditions caused by the Occupation led to his MURDER. You're man was tortured and killed, doesn't that affect you people at all?

Similarly, your obvious anti-Israeli agenda shows exactly where your loyalties lay.
