They interviewed the guy on CBC and CNN... he seems a little stressed-out by the situation and more than a little scared.

I think that he is caught in a horrible situation, as terrorists and insurrgents now see him a the source to give tapes to in order to recieve wider coverage... and the terrorists and insurgents are getting a lot more media savy, with a much more polished presentation and editing...

I don't know what I would do if I was this guy... he is in constant danger of retribution if he is percieved as sitting on a tape or not distributing it... wereas he is equally in danger because the more visibile he becomes as a source of distrubiting this material, the great the risk that he becomes a high-profile target for any group seeking to make a statement... and if he refuses to accept tapes or leaves altogther, then what action or revenge would the terrorists or issurgents take?
