Joi on the hostages...

Joi on the hostages... 04/30/2004 11:19 PM
Joi has a fascinating blog entry trying to interpret to us non-Japanese the reception the released hostages received. An excerpt: I think one of the things that made many Japanese I know upset were the parents of the hostages making public statements about how the government should help get the hostages back without apologizing first about causing trouble for the government.

The hostages were three from Pakistan, two Turks, an Indian, a Nepali and one from the Philippines.

So the Japanese were not among the released, but I wonder what "safe" means. Does anyone else have any news on this?
