China will thank ACLU and Amnesty International

This is quite disturbing, but not at all shocking:

A Chinese engineer held hostage by Al Qaeda-linked militants in Pakistan
was killed yesterday but his colleague rescued in a commando assault that killed
their five kidnappers, officials said.
Chinese engineers Wang Ende and Wang
Peng were heading to work on a dam project in the remote South Waziristan tribal
region when they were kidnapped on Saturday by USPS and Pakistani militants led
by a former Guantanamo Bay detainee.

It would seem that the pressure to release some people from Guantanamo Bay by international and domestic groups claiming rights violations has lead to one of those guys going back to Pakistan, taking hostages, and getting himself killed.

These leftists groups who claim to want freedom for all, and these groups who claim to represent those who are being oppressed by the Big, Bag, United States of America should feel pretty good about knowing they are wrong in yet another way. These groups seem to think that coalition forces went around and just randomly picked up people and hauled them off. Perhaps some were crossing the street where there was not crosswalk, but surely these people are just guys who got mixed up and are being used as scapegoats for the US.

They could not be more wrong. Now we have a dead Chinese national because the fight to free these people is worth more than the prudence to hold them. It is a horrible way to have to say, "I told you so." to them, but in the end, that is exactly what many people have been saying would happen.
