American Hostage "Sympathizes" With His Palestinian Kidnappers, Terrorists - Seriously, Real Quote

We just don't have the energy to make this up any more:

In Gaza, gunmen went from room to room in hotels, looking for foreigners. By midafternoon, they had taken a Swiss Red Cross worker, two Australian teachers, two French medical workers and three journalists - one French and two South Korean, Palestinian and foreign officials said... Also kidnapped were a Canadian aid worker and an American professor at the American University in the West Bank city of Jenin. The American professor, Douglas Johnson, said he was unharmed and understood his abductors' actions. "They are angry over what is going on in Jericho. I feel sympathy with them," he told an AP reporter at an abandoned cemetery, where he was briefly held before being freed.

Of course he does. And of course they are - terrorists always get angry when Israel captures their terrorist friends.

UPDATE: Obviously, this has already been blogged under LGF's extensive Wildly Inappropriate Hostage Reaction Watch. That post also has extensive links to and information about this idiot former hostage.
