If the insurgents are smart they will release all hostages unharmed. Sentiment seems to be on their side and murdering hostages will just lend credence to the view that they are subhuman terrorists.

Apparently they have already decided to release the Japanese hostages.

Chinu. In the article you posted...." Iraq's Governing Council yesterday demanded a halt to "collective punishment" in a sign of a split between US-picked Iraqi leaders and American administrators over US military operations. "....

Does this surprise you? Different religious sects wanting things their way?

And how about this....." Friday's halt in the Fallujah assault was requested by the council to allow for talks on reducing the violence, US coalition spokesman Dan Senor said. ".....

Already the new council is exercising new powers and the US military is doing as requested. Maybe a bit of democracy starting to show up?
