I found a Green Party Article asking that the Hostages be set free HERE. One of the hostages is a member of the Green Party.

Having read the article, I decided to go to the english Aljazeera.net and there I found three other requests to let the hostages free.

1) Palestinian
2) Sunni Party
3) Canadian

Having found all this, I was encouraged to send my own request, HERE, and clicking on "Your Feedback."   This is what I sent:

I am an American and was against the war in Iraq and as a member of  Veterans For Peace I have asked for an end of the occupation on numerous occasions.

Just being logical.  Bush will not negotiate with the terrorists to release the hostages.  It would benefit him if they killed the hostages, besides he doesn't like the hostages either, because if your not for us, your against us, even if you are a white American Christian, which Mr. Bush is not.  If the terrorists kill those hostages it would give Mr. Bush cause to say, "see I told you so."  He could send more troops and bombs to Iraq.  If the terrorists want to truly end the occupation, they should let the hostages go free.

There is still time to sign the petition if you haven't

To those who are holding the Christian Peacemakers Team in Iraq, and to people everywhere of all Traditions of Faith and Peace:

We who write you affirm what all the traditions teach that trace their spiritual origin to Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all teach explicitly that to kill even one human being - even more strongly one who is doing no harm, most especially one who is seeking peace and nurturing human bodies and communities -- is to destroy a world. All other religious traditions agree about the holiness of human lives.

This teaching applies to all innocent Iraqis and foreigners who have been killed or taken away in Iraq out of anger against the US occupation - and it applies with special clarity and strength to the members of the Christian Peacemakers Team who are being held in Iraq. Like us, they too opposed the US attack. They came to serve the Iraqi people. They came not only to urge peace but also to live peace.

We who have opposed the US invasion and occupation of Iraq call on all who live in Iraq to seek the release of these people into safety and freedom. And we call on all people of good will everywhere to join in this call.

No doubt, those who planned and executed the US invasion and occupation of Iraq will cite this action as evidence for the rightness of their action. We utterly reject this logic, and affirm that the war undertaken by the US has multiplied the violence it pretended to oppose.

We hold morally responsible for the lives of these Christian Peacemakers both those in Iraq who have taken them, and those who have brought about the deaths of thousands of Iraqis and Americans by pursuing this war.

Once again, we call for a swift end to the US occupation of Iraq and for peaceful action by the entire human community to assist Iraqis to achieve their own self-government. And we send our loving prayers to those who have become victims of their own loving commitment to peace, justice, and healing.
