Greta Van Susteren had a very special show tonight. She had the first interview with Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig since their release from their kidnapping and torture in Gaza City only this past Sunday, 08/27/06.

I was brought to tears when Olaf revealed that the kidnappers thought Steve was a CIA agent, military officer and spy, and told Olaf they were going to have to kill Steve. Olaf told them who he was, but somehow they had Googled Steve’s name and found out that he had been at Uday and Qusay’s home after their death, and they thought Steve might have been part of the military because of that, but apparently Olaf convinced them otherwise.

The apparent calm these two men display tonight is unbelievable, as none of us can imagine what they went through. We can all conjecture what we might have done or felt, but unless it is you, you just cannot even begin to imagine.

Olaf and Steve were later joined by Olaf’s wife, Anita McNaught and by Steve’s brother on the set. Greta kept reminding us that even though the rest of the world thought that Fox was doing or saying nothing about the incident on the air, movements and activities behind the scenes were flurried, and nobody at Fox was without worry. It was a very difficult day and weeks for the Fox family, as well as all other journalists around the world, I hope.

Jennifer Griffin then comes in to the show tonight, and I gotta tell you; she’s my new SuperWoman for what she did to help get this resolved, along with Anita McKnaught.

These kidnappers are goons, thugs, blood-thirsty murderers who deserve nothing but swift justice. This is by far not the last we’ve heard of this story. Because of their “conversions” to Islam at gunpoint, and later denouncement of same, a lot of people are now fearing for them should they return to Gaza because they’ve now shunned “Islam,” which they had no other choice but to convert to lest they be killed. These were two very brave men, and the families behind them were and continue to be remarkable. I know the entire Fox family and “family” families are now breathing a sigh of relief now that they’re safely on American soil. I hope soon that Bush calls them to the White House and opens the doors for them. These guys need medals of honor for valor and heroism, and Anita McKnaught, Jennifer Griffin, and the JPS also deserve formal recognition for tirelelessly working for their release.

The one thing that comes from this is NEVER – GIVE – UP!

Warning – A couple of the videos below are large to retain integrity without interruption until the actual show breaks. If you want smaller, lower-res videos, email me at MsUnderestimated@gmail.com.

God bless these men, and protect them from further harm. And Steve and Olaf, I’m not trying to tell you guys what to do because I’m no expert, but I’ve read enough about Islam to know you guys can be in real danger now if you go back; especially if the video gets out (and you know it has via Al Jazeera) that you admitted you only “converted” at gunpoint because that was the only way to survive.

I have one last point I want my readers to ponder. Yes, Steve and Olaf are now released and back on American soil, but picture this in your mind. You’re in your home, Al Gore or John Kerry are sitting in office, and all of a sudden, your door bursts open in Middle America. There’s now a boot to your neck, you’re on the floor, an AK47 stuck to your head, and you’re told if you don’t convert to Islam, you’re going to be killed. What would you do? I don’t know what I would do at that moment, but I do know what I will do in ’06 and ’08 – and that is vote to keep the people in office who will make this the least likely possible scenario to happen here in my home. But remember, if the Jihadists have their way, it would be happening, and right on our doorsteps. We cannot afford to let the peace-at-any-price crowd blind us to what the true important issues are of this day: the protection of our country and our allies against global Jihad.

The video segments are here, here, here, here, and here.

God bless everyone at Fox, all my friends, all lovers of freedom everywhere; our President, our military men and women, and more importantly, God Bless the U.S.A.

P.S. I will try to post a partial transcript tomorrow, but it is too late tonight – I ran out of time. The videos are brilliant, and will give you goosebumps.

Also sent to Jo’s Cafe, bRight&Early, Blue Star Chronicles, and Stop the ACLU, Michelle Malkin, and HotAir. Again to Stop the ACLU, and Blue Star Chronicles reminds us of the part where Steve and Olaf said the terrorists didn’t like to be called “Islamic Fascists”. Was this comment also made at gunpoint?

***ADDITIONAL CONTENT***

If you thought THIS video was great, there’s another one on the Fox Fan page. (h/t to reader David)

This one lasts 11 minutes, 22 seconds, and it’s Steve and Olaf answering viewers’ questions who have emailed Greta. This is probably more insightful than the one that aired on Greta’s initial interview. Greta’s readers asked some darn good questions, and I loved the answers. A reader asks if they were angry, and I was glad to hear them both say they were. Steve again talked about how he was impressed with Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin and Eli Fasman, going up to shady bad guys yelling at them, basically telling them they were full of it, and they should go get something done! HA! You go, girl! I knew Jennifer had it in her for that. I could tell that neither she nor Anita McKnaught would ever stop until they got them freed. Thank you ladies.
