Among these were a Canadian, a New Zealander and an Englishmen, two Australians and four Americans -- all of them captured while sailing yachts through the Gulf of Thailand.

		<description><![CDATA[Farmers and their cash crops ... earning a living on the margins of global agriculture. Palestinian farmers face an entirely unique challenge.
