Seeing three of our four friends was very distressing. We are really asking the kidnappers to consider what they are doing and what this is doing to the [hostages'] families.

They're very supportive of what we do. They're making the point that we have helped many detainees.

Most of the kidnappings are of Iraqi citizens.

They're very supportive of what we do.

Well, it's a little bit of a mix of hope and distress. Hope because we still see three of our friends obviously alive and also a bit of distress because the other friend, Tom Fox from the United States, is not shown.

We want to make it clear to the kidnappers that these people were working for the good of the Iraqi people.
