American Roy Hallums was abducted from his temporary Baghdad home on November 1st, 2004.

♠ He was in Iraq as a civilian contractor working on rebuilding efforts. His mission had everything to do with helping the Iraqi people rebuild their country after decades of war, mismanagement, and terror under the Saddam Hussein regime.

♠ Roy was taken hostage along with six other foreign nationals, including a Fillipino named Robert Tarongoy. The U.S. did not publish the fact that an American citizen had been taken hostage because of a policy of treating civilian abductions as purely private matters. The Jawa Report was the first publication to identify Roy Hallums as the hostage.

♠ Since that time we have been in contact with members of the Hallums family who started leaving comments at our site. Roy's daughter, Carrie Hallums Cooper, and his ex-wife, Susan Hallums, have been leading the charge to keep Roy's plight in the media.

♠ Unfortunately the mainstream media has tended to bury stories of American hostages in the back pages until something dramatic happens, such as the release of a hostage video. The sad fact is that the American hostages in Iraq are forgotten casualties of war. We find this situation unacceptable and pledge to do our part in keeping these victims in the headlines."
Gamblog comment :: It is a shame on all of us from the USA, the UK and the coalition members that Roy Hallum has seemingly been forgotten. I support Dr Rusty Shackleford in his attempts to shine the light of freedom in Roy Hallum's direction, even if our politicians are more interested in pre-election or post-election spin doctoring.
