Iraqi Hostages

Two of three hostages taken in Baghdad early today (from a garden where they stood talking) were Americans working for Gulf Services.

But a lot of hostages are now in the hands of perhaps not just insurgents. There is speculation some have been taken as political prisoners by Iraqi PM (and Washington's man) Allawi.

Democracy Now points us to a blog just about this: Free Our Friends. Go look at the faces. It's very painful.
