I found this item on the folllowing blog: http://annika.mu.nu/archives/096416.html,
which I found while looking for something else. The blog has some language that's a little rough for family viewing, so I'll put the link to the article it links to here:


QUOTE
A HOSTAGE held alongside Australian Douglas Wood in Iraq has hired bounty hunters to track down his former captors, promising to eliminate them one by one.

As a history buff, this amuses me because it reminds me of Julius Caesar when he was taken hostage by pirates in his day. He developed a joking relationship with them and promised that when they released him, he'd come back with an army and have them all crucified. That turned out to be no joke.
