Setting the record straight
There have been many…odd…reports about Norman Kember and the other Christian Peacemaker Team members kidnapped four months ago and recently released by military action. Ekklesia has a rebuttal to these that is worth reading. Most particularly, it is not true that the CPT members and organisation were ungrateful – indeed, unqualified thanks were offered on the day of their release and thereafter, contrary to many media reports (including statements from senior military men). And it is not true that the CPT members endangered anyone else by requiring military assistance – they had specifically and publically said that they did not desire any military intervention if anything was to go wrong with their mission.
