Put him back where you found him
So, Norman Kember didn't say thanks to the boys from Hereford for rescuing him. Or to the military in general. And he wouldn't assist in answering questions in his debrief. And he ignored Foreign Office advice by travelling to "the most dangerous country in the world" to "help the Iraqi people".
WHAT A TW*T. Feel free to insert any vowel you like, as long as it is "A".
Naive doesn't cover it. Do gooding, geriatric meddler comes close. Going to a country where he is guaranteed to get at the very least kidnapped and probably killed. Saying that if he was kidnapped, he didn't want a military rescue. OK, so you fancy a few years in an Iraqi hovel? I think this place sucks and I generally steer clear of the locals - they smell and they don't live in fantastic conditions. To be held by them, blinfolded and probably likely to be slotted isn't on my list of to do's. To then ask to be freed by peaceful means is bloody stupid.
To then not be grateful is ridiculous. How much effort did he think UK PLC would put in to finding him? How many peoples lives put in danger to find the dodgy old punter?
Fella's, pick him up from Pinner (or wherever he lives). Fly him back. dump him and we'll see how quickly his "Faith" and "peaceful means" get him out of the mire.

Oh dear, someone has got their sand-pants in a twist.
I shouldn’t waste your time or energy worrying about people like that. They’re destined to fall foul of their own beliefs if they do ridiculously insane things in an attempt to ease their own conscience.
Now I do my best to tell the truth, be honourable & courteous and treat those as I would like to be treated, but that doesn’t mean to say I’m going to catch the next flight out to a hostile country and claim ‘do-gooders’ rights!
Ho hum… I suppose variety is what makes this world a ‘colourful’ place.
Yeah, I'm backing both you and Mort here...
Hamedswife - I apologise if I caused offence. It wasn't intended. I find it very hard to believe that Iraq was a wonderful place to live in post invasion - I have spoken to people who have been here for a long time (locals) and they say that it has steadily eroded under Saddam. Having been to Babylon on a previous tour and seen the desicration of an international Historical site by Saddam I can understand why - he was more interested in himself and his cronies. The people came second (or lower). No, perhaps we shouldn't have intervened and YES the evidence/justification to do so now looks increasingly shaky, but we are noly here now to rebuild and especially provide Security Forces that are capable of doing that - providing security. It could be argued that we are part of the problem - maybe - but we are not destoying the infrastructure in an attempt to destabilise the local government. We are not assassinating people in positions of Authority because they are doing their job - too well. We should pull out, but only when the locals are ready for us to do and when requested.
Well there you are, some people have no sense whatsoever. If you ask me, people like that are only thinking of their own self worth and labelling it to hide the truth. Either that or they are in complete denial and really do believe they are making a difference.
There are those who need to be controlled (power seems to do funny things to the minds of certain types of people) but wouldn't it be nice if the world and its people recognised that EVERYONE has a belief and that EVERYONE is entitled to an opinion - we are not always going to agree with on another.
I really don't know what the answer is here but I do believe that Christian 'peace keepers' are fools if they think they can really make a difference, and they are a danger to themselves and others.
