Eight Western Hostages, including American, Freed in Nigeria
An American, a Canadian, and six Britons have been freed in Nigeria. Authorities declined to say whether a ransom was paid or not---which is a polite way of saying, yes, we paid ransom. Expect more hostage taking in Nigeria as this is turning into a lucrative business opportunity.

Hey you guys are kind of late on this information. I recall last year, you were like the first to report on the CPT'ers. And the naming of Tommy Foxy, the christian warrior of passion. What's going on over there?
The American's name is Texas Richards, who works for PEAK.

Madcap,
It's all my wife's fault for believing I could remodel the bathrooms!

Most Governments in this world pay ransoms. Britain and the U.S are the only ones that don't. Governments will never admit paying ransom though the news organizations will find out anyway. I know that they don't want to lose sleep for letting a hostage lose his head but they have to understand that more kidnappings will happen because of ransom payment.
