Well, that is the point--the people who have taken him just want  
money. They are not on any political crusade, just plain and simple  
crooks rather than head-chopping Muslim fanatics. So assuming the  
Australian government, or whoever sent this photographer to Somalia,  
pays the ransom, he should be OK. The business model of these guys  
relies on keeping the hostages alive.

Cheers,
Nathan
