Ungrateful Sod

.
This guy Kember, Brit, former hostage. American and British soldiers risked their lives to rescue him and two Canadians in Iraq. Here's what he had to say, after being told that he needs to show some damn gratitude by the Chief of Staff of the British Army:

"I do not believe that a lasting peace is achieved by armed force, but I pay tribute to their courage and thank those who played a part in my release."

NEW POLICY: We will follow the lead of champion bass fishermen on TV. Catch and release. Jerks like this shall be re-captured by Navy Seals, and thrown back into the swamp where we found them.

It's just a matter of time till we hunt down Kember. We found him once, and we can find him again.

    Wordnerd, I think that the Iraqi bad guys just released him to make us mad. They couldn't stand him anymore either.

    UPDATEOne of the Canadian hostages who was in captivity with Norman Kember, James Loney, is homosexual, it was revealed today.

    Unlike Kember, he has a good way of expressing his gratitude for the releas:. "I am grateful in a way that can never be adequately expressed in words," he told reporters on Sunday. "It's great to be alive."

    Speculation that maybe Kember was being ungrateful and taciturn because he and James would be separated is very unfair.

    To James.

    Doesn't it look like this guy has horns coming out of the back of his head?!
