The Huffington Post has obtained an internal memo from FOX News, written by their vice-President of news. The memo contained this very interesting tidbit:

Of course FOX news will be on the lookout for statements from Iraqi insurgents saying they are happy the Democrats won. Isn’t this the job of the administration’s propaganda machine? But there is something else within that single paragraph that is of real interest:

Jennifer Grffin sent in info on Hamas’ call for attacks on American interests.

What makes that statement so interesting is this piece of info that Aravosis has uncovered:

Palestinian terror groups and security organizations in the Gaza Strip received $2 million from a United States source in exchange for the release of Fox News employees Steve Centanni and Olag Wiig, who were kidnapped here last summer, a senior leader of one of the groups suspected of the abductions told WND.

The terror leader, from the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees, said his organization’s share of the money was used to purchase weapons, which he said would be utilized “to hit the Zionists.”

He said he expects the payments for Centanni and Wiig’s freedom will encourage Palestinian groups to carry out further kidnappings.

Officials associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party and its security organization, the Preventative Security Services, confirmed to WND money was paid for the release of the Fox News reporters…. the money was used to purchase weapons.

“We used 100 percent of the money for one precise goal – our war against the Zionists,” the Committees leader said.

He said weapons purchased included rockets.

“Regarding the others (the Dugmash clan of the Committees) who received the money, I can tell you one thing is very clear – this went also to be used against the Zionists. I can’t say every cent went to buy bombs, maybe it also went to pay for salaries, smuggling, buying shelter.”….

A spokeswoman for Fox News Channel told WND she could not provide an official statement about whether Fox was aware of money paid to free its two employees.

A source at Fox told WND many parties were involved with the freedom of Centanni and Wiig, including the U.S. government, and that it was possible money was paid.

So we are now giving in to terrorist demands? How many people did these weapons kill? Even more interesting is what kind of message this sends to other terrorists in the region – “hey – go ahead and kidnap reporters, their companies pay big money”. It really sounds like FOX has aided our enemy in the war on terror. This should become another issue for the newly elected Democratic Congress. If FOX did aide our enemies, then there is only one word for that – TREASON.
