quarter two post thirteen

today i read an article about two journalists that have just been freed in Somalia. These two journalists, Colin Freeman and Jose Cendon, were kidnapped on november 26 while visiting the city of Bosasso to report of pirate activity. Two Somali journalists were also said to be kidnapped, but that is just a rumor.

i think this is completely outrageous. not that they were released, but the fact that they were kidnapped in the first place!!! i mean, i think that they were taken by a few pirates because somebody obviously didn't like what they were reporting about, if that makes any sense. which TOTALLY goes against the whole freedom of speech thing.
