Deafening Silence

Reader comment on item: Christian Peacemaker Teams: Blame Bush, not Islamists

Four peace activists in Iraq have been kidnapped and threatened with murder by terrorists. Why aren't American "anti-war activists" demonstrating? Why aren't they even requesting (let alone demanding) the safe return of the hostages?

The silence of American "peace activists" is deafening.
