Sent *how*, Mr. Ellison? TV broadcast? Radio Free Somalia? Maybe twitter? Or do you figure making statements to the Minneapolis Media is good enough?
And after you figure out how to send them, just *how* are they supposed to receive said message while their jihadi bros are watching?
Unless they're captured during an attack, they're Dead Men Walking.
Still feel the urge to do something for them, Mr. Ellison? Then work to insure the conviction and incarceration of those who recruited them -- it'll be a fitting memorial.
My guess is that at least half of the "recruits" are already dead, either in the fighting or, if they showed any signs of weakness -- or illness -- shot by their "buddies." That's an al-Shabaab trademark, too.

Leave them there. I don't want them here, causing more problems.
If these boys/men left on their own.. SCREW 'EM. You made your bed, now die in it.
But if they were truly kidnapped, like some are saying, then yes... we need to try to help them. But then again, I don't want them going back to that freakin' church in Minnie-so-cold, considering their terrorist ties.
The whole thing is fishy, no matter how you look at it.
In my heart...
Make me happy
Substitue for smart.
What, you haven't ever written a satirical jody call? Why yes, I started on the Final Paper. I have a darn good opening paragraph too. Time to play on the web.
If the recruiters have been specifically targeting pre-med and engineering types, watch for some increased sophistication in al-Shabaab's attacks. They won't be any less barbaric, just more sophisticatedly barbaric...
They'll also have a bit of the chemistry background too, for making Nasty Stuff and possibly some primitive bio-chem weapons.
That smarmy Muslim Congresscritter (Elliason) definitly is among the huge majority of the 535 who need to be thrown out of office at first opportunity. Although, his constitutents probably think he is a swell guy, just doing Allah's work for their benefit.
Jihadis have committed treason against the U.S. and they should be punished accordingly. On the battlefield, or hung high after a fair trial. Regardless of age, race, ethnic origin, sexual preferences, or whatever other "victim" excuses the left might come up with.
You are either with us or against us, and these clowns have made their choices and need to suffer the consequences.
This aint new. We've been here before. We know what's coming. We know what needs be done. We wont do it. We will wait until it is too late.
