Kidnapping the wrong guy

Posted by Moonage on 30 Jun 2005 | Tagged as: Opinions

A HOSTAGE held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.

Swede Ulf Hjertstrom, who was held for several weeks with Mr Wood in Baghdad, was released by his kidnappers on May 30.

That’s the way to do it!  That’s taking the "war on terror" to a personal level, which is how the terrorists try to do it.  They are mercenaries.  They thrive in the mercenary community.  Hiring mercenaries to go after mercenaries seems a lot more logical to me than the trying to fight a conventional war with them.

I hope Ulf gets his revenge.

    Thanks Billy. Specifically from The Stockholm Spectator:

    “They’re not twiddling their thumbs,” declares Hjertström, revealing that he has “received confirmation that two of [the kidnappers] have already been taken care of.” When asked to elaborate on the fate of the purportedly captured men, the Swede says he “hasn’t inquired” but has his “suspicions.”

    The Spectator also notes that “Many in Sweden have expressed shock and dismay at Hjertström’s eye-for-an-eye approach.”. I’m sure there are just as many that are applauding him for dealing with the terrorists on their terms. Although I’m no Swede, I know I am appauding him.

    I thank you all the supporters and we did get them all!!
    Unfortunately we did not get all the founds that was promissed so we had to close the operation. Only 2 weeks after this the kidnapping started all over again.
    A good clen up shuld do the trick again but we need a lot of money to get going.
    Thanks to all!!
    Rds.

    Congratulations on round one Ulf! Maybe as soon as the other victims realize there is a group out there that knows how to deal with mercenaries on their own playing field you’ll get the funding you need. Feel free to promote your cause here any way you wish. I’d feel honored to help.
