    I assume you are referring to the American husband and wife team of
missionaries who were assisting impoverished Philipinos. The were kidnapped,
along with another American and a number of Philipinos. The other American
was later beheaded and the Philipinos had their ransom paid to their Muslim
Freedom Fighter captors and were released . The American husband and wife
have been held now for approximately 8 months and are slowly dying.

  Don't worry, Bill, we are going to get hit again. It is basically
inevitable. So just hang in there.:-)

    By the way, is Tasmania a country or is it a territory of Australia? Just
curious.
