In reality, they’re not spies; they’re collaborators. From the Washington Times, :
BAGHDAD — Al Jazeera television yesterday aired a video of four aid workers kidnapped over the weekend, apparently being held by a previously unknown terrorist group called the “Swords of Righteousness.”
The four — two Canadians, an American and a Briton, members of Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) — sat with their backs against a wall, and looked calm.
A taped statement by the terrorists accused the four of being “spies of the occupying forces.” Previous hostages charged with being spies have been beheaded or shot.
