Who among you guys here have watched this episode in the National Geographic Channel? It's one of the great shows National Geographic featuring real people, real lives who are locked up abroad. It's the price you pay when you do all these things that goes with the saying regret all comes up in the end.

One of the greatest episode of this show i've seen last week was this..

Cullen Thomas arrested in South Korea for smuggling a kilo of hash. Cullen Thomas has been arrested by six plain clothed Korean policemen in the Seoul Post office.

He ended up being in prison for 3 years and 6 months for transporting hashish from philippines to korea using express courier (the biggest mistake he did)

The capture of Martin and Gracia Burnham was featured. There was also a feature of the Sipadan ( but they were brought to Jolo) kidnapping of a South African couple, a couple of Malaysians and a Filipino. Yeah, two episodes that involved the Abu Sayaff.

I really don't want to bad mouth our military but the way they were supposed to save the hostages was so rash. I mean I'm not a military expert but don't they have tactics on how to save the hostages? They were just firing bullets and shelling in every direction. In the two episodes involving gun fights between the Abu Sayaff and the Philippine Military, the hostages said instead of the military protecting them they felt like it was the terrorists who acted as their protector. Ironic eh? One South African even said that after they were shelled and the Abu Sayaff "sort of" protected them, they trusted them. Though it was false trust but you know...The military was that bad for a hostage to say that.

The one with the Sipadan ep (South African hostages) one hostage even said: "The Philippine government had an inclination about our safety that they were willing to sacrifice us." This was said after a clip was shown where the military was shelling the terrorists' camp.

Hope you guys could also watch those episodes.

When several hostages were freed (Libyan leader Gadhafi paid for the ransom daw), they were transported in a helicopter and one said: "I looked up and then there was this beautiful island but there was so much EVIL inside it." It's just sad.
