Can someone comment on the implications of this story? I'm assuming that it's slightly illegal to give money (not to mention millions) to terrorists, under any circumstances. If the money could be traced to Fox, what would that mean?

Is money paid as a ransom tax deductible?

This is just more proof that those we call CONSERVATIVES ARE TRAITORS TO AMERICA.

Conservatives are truly destroying our country with their lies, deception, greed and, yes, TREASON.
This FOX violation is but the latest in a seemingly endless series of abominations by the Toxic Right Wing of America.

From now on, America knows the real truth:

CONSERVATISM=TREASON.

This is a fact, not an opinion.

If Fox gave the money, then it means they are terrorist appeasors who are essentially rewarding terrorists. I means Fox are terrorist enablers and are encouraging more terrorist acts to happen.

If Bush gave the money FOR FOX, then not only does the same thing apply to Bush, but it has greater implications. For example, does this count as a Bush contribution to Fox news? IS this a contribution "in kind" and the equivalent of the right-wing buying propaganda or news coverage from Fox? We all joke around that Fox takes their marching orders from Bush and Rove...this would eb absolute proof of their bais and them being "bought and paid for".

Bush paying the money also means that Bush is willing to negotiate or appease terrorists that go after his loyal friends, but are not willing to do so for ordinary citizens or soldiers who are dying for his war.

This is huge no matter who did it and only futher shows the lies, cowardice and hypocrisy of the right-wing noise machine.

I hate to pick-nits but, who are the real terrorists ?

The people fighting to keep their homeland ?

Or the ones over there spinning the bull tweed (Fox)?

fox news, o.j. simpson, judith regan & terrrrrrorists . . . . . Birds of a Feather . . .

Who Would Have Guessed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is just in keeping with the Reagan tradition. Although, if Reagan were alive and coherent, I'll bet he would have quit being loyal to these thugs many years ago!

Is someone at FOX going in the slammer for this?
