British Hostage Video Shown UK PM Brown Disgusted

CNNLondon

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown consulted with his Iraqi counterpart Wednesday, following the release of a video showing a British national who was kidnapped in Iraq.

Downing Street said Brown spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki about the video that was released on Tuesday on the Arabic-language network Al-Arabiya.

It shows one of five Britons taken hostage on May 29 in Baghdad.

"The PM has been in close contact with PM Maliki on this case, and discussed it again with him over the 'phone this morning," a statement from Brown's office said.

"Both leaders deplored the taking and public parading of hostages, and agreed to continue their close cooperation to secure their early release."

In the video released Tuesday, a man who identified himself as Peter Moore pleaded with the British government to perform "a simple exchange" of prisoners with his captors so "we can go home."

Jeesh, my heart just about stops when I see this guy. These whack jobs need to let these people go. People go over to help them rebuild their sorry ass country and this is how they are repaid --- freaking barbarians. I am beginning to see the wisdom in just dropping a low yield Nuke on that entire tribal area --- make that sand into glass. They do not seem to be capable of joining civilization.
