<..............> The video, uploaded to YouTube on Monday, shows Canadian Joshua Boyle and American Caitlan Coleman and their two children, who were born in captivity, pleading with their governments to negotiate with their captors.Coleman described “the Kafkaesque nightmare in which we find ourselves” after being held in captivity since 2012, when they were kidnapped while backpacking in northern Afghanistan.The two are believed to be held by the Haqqani network, a terrorist group aligned with the Taliban, which has fought the Nato mission in Afghanistan and held the US soldier Bowe Bergdahl for five years. Coleman called on Barack Obama and incoming president Donald Trump to work on securing their freedom.“We have waited since 2012 for somebody to understand our problems,” she said, appearing to read from a script, while her husband sat next to her with their children rested on his lap. “We can only ask and pray that somebody will recognize the atrocities these men carry out against us as so-called retaliation in their ingratitude and hypocrisy.”The video marks the first release from the couple since a video they put out in August, in which they warned their captors would kill them unless the Afghan government ended its execution of Taliban prisoners in Kabul.<............> |

...kidnapped while backpacking in northern Afghanistan. View Quote Sympathy Level - Zero. |

Just to clarify a few things. THe couple were SJWs who went around befriending muslim terror suspects in Candada and finally took a trip to Afganisatn thinking that they would be protcted.
The husband is a slave, captured in battle as allowed in the Koran. The "wife" is actually the wife of (and former slave to) a taliban commander. Terrible situation, and I hope they make it out, but they went their on their own so that they could more effectivley preach and moralize to the Candian and American people about the peace loving people of Afghanistan. |

Wierd they are allowed to have sex together, birth, & raise 2 kids ? Doesn't seem like the Taliban I've read about even if it's the Taliban ally. Strange situation here

They were doing their part to show the west how wrong we are. They made poor choices.

That's like the people who want to go to North Korea and find themselves in prison. I just don't understand.

Yep. It is one thing if they were kidnapped at home, or while vacationing in a safe country. But backpacking in fucking Afghanistan? lol enjoy that culture you set out to experience! |

I hope Trump doesn't waste a single second on these idiots.

WTF is it with traveling to known trouble spots? View Quote They probably thought it was safe because once the media stopped harping on Bush about how much things suck over there, they probably thought it was all fixed. That and a huge dose of "Well gee, me and my family didn't like vote for any of the bad things, so we'll just tell them that and be good" |

I'd love to see Trump comment on this saying, "Why the F#@k would anyone go bacpkpacking in A-stan? I mean, who's really that stupid?" I'd prefer to see him do it on TV than tweeting it.

According to this article, he converted to Islam and was fascinated with terrorism and counterterrorism. He was once married to the sister of Omar Khadr. Omar did some time in Guantanamo Bay after killing SFC Christopher Speer with a grenade in Afghanistan. Boyle met Khadr's sister online after expressing support for Omar. He also helped organize a hunger strike in Canada to protest Omar Khadr's detention. Omar's dad had ties to al-Qaeda and OBL. That guy was killed in a shootout in 2003.
Uh wow, is it really a surprise he ended up captive in Afghanistan? Homeboy could've been trying to join his bros overseas for all we know and the Taliban decided Canadians didn't make very good freedom fighters. Or he was just a mega SJW, either way it doesn't matter. He doesn't deserve a rescue. |

The only way I would go backpacking in Afghanistan if I have the Army, Navy, Marines and Airforce involved.

No f@@@s given.
Glad they're experiencing a dose of reality. Parents failed him. |

Idiots.
They use the term "Kafkaesque". This implies some degree of surrealism. More accurate is "predictable". |
