You can watch the video here (hat tip: Shawn at Bareknucklepolitics, Ian at Political Teen, and Doubletap at Infovlad--all of whom e-mailed me)
Here is a transcript of the video, via Doubletap at Infovlad:
Thank you very much we are being treated well and we hope to be out of here soon.The peace activists seem much more reluctant than Giuliana Sgrena to pour out their emotions.Um We are being treated well we are both well all of us are well.
We are all being treated well we are sleeping ok um and um we would like to thank the people holding us for that and hopefully we will be home soon.
I ask Mr Blair to take British troops out of Iraq and leave the Iraqi people to come to their own decisions on their government.
As a representative of Christian Peace Maker Teams we feel that continued British and American occupation is not in the best interest of the Iraqi people.
We will be following this hostage crisis carefully.

"We are being treated well... yes... very well! Thanks to our kidnappers! Totally, man!"
I bet they just want to show the world how "nice and innocent" the terrorists are... and how eeeeeeeevil Bush and Blair are for attacking them.

CAIR protests kidnapping of collaborators
Has CAIR ever protested against the kidnapping of anyone else in Iraq? If so, please send me the links here and I will post them as updates. But this protest of the kidnapping of the collaborators is the first one I personally can recall ever seeing from them. From "Frenchman target of latest Iraq kidnapping," from AFP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
Just a day earlier, one of the most prominent US Muslim organizations, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, became the latest group to demand the release of the four Western Christian peace activists kidnapped last week.
The two Canadians, one Briton and an American, are linked to the US and Canada-based Christian Peacemaker Teams opposed to the continued presence of US-led foreign troops in Iraq.
"Those who left the comfort of their homes to advocate for the rights of others that do not share their faith, ethnicity or language should be celebrated and honored by Muslims, not humiliated by being made captives or, God forbid, killed," said Parvez Ahmed, the organization's chairman.
"This is a universal human ideal and a cherished principle of Islam."
In other words, "They're on your side, you idiots. Let them go."
So, I'm not just a voice crying in the wilderness.

Who wants to ask CAIR, seeing as that profile matches the U.S armed forces, if they want to condemn terrorism in Iraq now?
