Susanne Osthoff Found With Ransom Loot

Posted by Dave Blount at January 23, 2006 7:10 AM

So many Islamophiliacs with decidedly anti-American views have been getting themselves kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq lately that you almost have to wonder — especially when one captive, having been released, not only praises her captors but allegedly gets caught with the some of the money used ransom her:

Part of the ransom money alleged to have been paid by the German government to win the freedom of Iraq hostage Susanne Osthoff last month was found on Osthoff after her release, the German magazine Focus said on Saturday.

Without citing its sources, Focus said officials at the German embassy in Baghdad had found several thousand U.S. dollars in the 43-year-old German archaeologist's clothes when she took a shower at the embassy shortly after being freed.

The serial numbers on the bills matched those used by the government to pay off Osthoff's kidnappers, the magazine said.

Apparently letting US Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem's killer out of his cage wasn't enough; the Germans also had to pour cash into the terrorists' pockets — some of which then found its way into Osthoff's. As if we needed another reason to NEVER negotiate with terrorists...
