My friend wrote a letter and my thinking is as same as her saying.
Her letter is on the web site of Aljazeera.

I'd like you to air the news that they are not fighters but aid workers
also.
The 3 Japanese Hostages are facing to death in hours. I know the one of them and must help them. A politician went to Amman to contact to the kidnapers and want some supporters to help him, so please tell me any contact address If you know somebody who is in Amman and possible to help our action.
****************************
URGENT STATEMENT
****************************
1. The three Japanese civilians who were forcibly abducted on the 8th of April in Iraq have no relationship whatsoever to the Japanese government or the Coalition Provisional Authority. Rather, they have consistently opposed the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq as well as the Japanese government's support of the invasion and dispatch of Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) troops.
These three civilians went to Iraq because they felt deeply for the suffering of the Iraqi people and wished to tell the world of it. Their goal was to aid the Iraqi people.
It would be a sheer absurdity if the lives of these three kindest souls were claimed for the policies of the Japanese government. The armed group should release the three hostages immediately. Killing foreign civilians of best will would only harm the credibility of the Muslim worldwide.
2. Japanese Government says it will do "everything possible" to rescue the three hostages, but if so then it should immediately withdraw its troops from Iraq.
If the JSDF troops were in fact dispatched for "non-combatant humanitarian assistance," it is a blatant contradiction to insist on its military presence in the face of such hostility among the Iraqi people, with lives of the Japanese civilians at such high stake.
In fact, the JSDF troops are there to assist with the Anglo-American occupation, which is now fiercely opposed by the Iraqis. That the Japanese government's wishful "non-combat area" in Iraq don't exist is clear as the popular uprising against the occupation spreads across the entire country.
The Japanese government's dispatch of the JSDF troops is based on a multitude of lies and deceptions, and the kidnapping of the three hostages is but one consequence.
We therefore appeal to the Japanese government to acknowledge its mistaken policy and bring the troops home now.
