That's exactly what Bridges to Baghdad wants, too. Besides that, they're an independent Italian organization. And, one of the hostages is an Iraqi professor (and not an ex-pat of any kind): Ra'ad.

From the articles I posted:
---------------------------------
Bridges is not an instrument of the Italian government, nor of the US-led coalition, to make the occupation more bearable, and therefore, more acceptable to the Iraqis. From the very beginning, Bridges has been open and consistent with its positions: it opposed the embargo, it opposed the invasion, and it opposes the occupation. In Italy, Bridges has been a leading critic of the government's decision to join the US-led coalition.

It plays a leading role in the nation-wide movement that mobilized over a million Italians to march against the war in February 15, 2003, as well as in various demonstrations after. Bridges has also been very active in the global anti-war movement, maintaining links with various anti-war organizations around the world and playing a key role in establishing the Occupation Watch Center in Baghdad, a center for monitoring the occupation founded by anti-war organizations and coalitions from different countries.

-------------------------------

Voices has worked with Bridges to Baghdad since we began traveling to Iraq in 1996. They have maintained a steady presence in Iraq, since 1991, and we relied on them for advice and insights whenever our delegations traveled to Iraq. Their vision and witness has provided peace activists worldwide with an inspiration to resist the economic sanctions and each of the wars waged against Iraq.

In 2002, when we were notified of a $20,000 fine imposed on us for bringing medicines to Iraq, we raised $20,000 and contributed it to Bridges to Baghdad's Sinbad Clinic which they operated in Basra to assist women and children afflicted with water-borne diseases.
