60 Minutes Roy Hallum, hostage for 10 months

[boston bean]

in a four ft. basement, tied up and blind folded.

Was rescued two weeks ago.

The president has not called him. He was a navy veteran for 20 years.

He was a contractor coordinating food for the Iraqi Guard.

He seemed to be hurt that no one, no one has called him.

Leslie Stahl was sick that no one had called him.

No president, no senator, no representative.

1. Yeah, you're right

who gives a shit?

7. I do - can't help it

He survived and he is a veteran. I'm glad they did the story. They mentioned 3 more. I can only remember Mr. Ake, the businessman but the one I remember most is Pvt.(Sgt) Maupin and nobody ever mentions him anymore. I hope he is alive.

2. Saw it

Pretty tough guy imho. Anyone who could go through shit like that and survive is tough as nails.

3. He was getting paid

What more does he want? :sarcasm:


It's sad that our govt is so out of touch.

Jeeze...

4. Sorry, is that what was on

60 minutes?

And no one does give a shit..especially in the bushwa.

Glad he lived and got away to tell his story..someone should contact him.

5. That's the point. I know he was making money off the war

and that we question his motives, but even when one of their own goes through something this horrendous, they can't even pick up the phone.

This administration is despicable.

6. What state is he from?

9. his daughter live in California, I don't know where he comes from in

the US, but according to the families website, he lived in a "safer" middle east country, prior to working in iraq.
