An interesting article on a hunting trip gone awry. Surprising how much of Europe and the World is pro-Arab and anti Israeli. Many organizations and politicians, if not most, are thieves as noted. Our naive politicians think they can deal with them. To wit, Pres Obama and Iran. My father-in-law lived and worked in Libya for many years. It was a source of pride for them if they could cheat a Westerner. With 150 million in extortion money, the Islamic terrorists should be able to kill and maim a lot more people. However, since the story is in the Washington Post, there is a fair chance that it is fabricated. I hope. Plan your hunting trips carefully, especially in the Arab States........................FW Bill

I'm sorry, but it's difficult to have compassion for a group of hunters that select Iraq as thier preferred destination. That's just terrible decision making.

While we're at it, let's go deer hunting in north Korea, fishing in Somalia, goat hunting in Afghanistan and we can cap off the tour with some relaxing downtime in Columbia or northern Mexico.

It's one thing to hunt in a dangerous and somewhat unstable country like Pakistan. It's a whole different thing to do so in a country that is actively at war or a failed state.

I've been to Iraq numerous times and the only thing worth hunting there are terrorists and that's what armies are for.
