It is Philippines problem, internal problem, they need to hunt down the attackers and lock them up.

Fair comment.

However, in the present Obama, "We don't want to be involved in other countries politics" (which may or may not be true) attitude, I can't see America getting directly involved.

I see one of the chief suspects has turned himself in:

Mate we have here thousands of US servicemen all over Mindanao "exercising war capability" with Abu Sayyaf, an Islamic militant group that is associated with Al-Queda.

It isn't America's problem? Then why is US and UK bawling over violations of human rights, freedom of expressions, torture and ill treatment of activist and many other rights in China, Iran, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea, Burma, etc....

Is US and UK on a selective mode with regards to human rights violations of other countries?

The troops are still here but no more than a hundred in number. Most of them are intelligence specialist. They could have picked up the movements of these armed local political terrorist group.

Norwegian media to RP govt: Bring massacre suspects to court
OSLO, Norway - The Norwegian Journalist Union in Oslo called on the Philippine government to act swiftly in resolving the murders of 30 Filipino journalists in Maguindanao province.

"We strongly urge the Philippine government to catch and bring to court the people behind this (horrible killings.) There are no excuses, they must be found. The government must give a very strong signal to both the Filipino people and to the outside world that this cannot go on," Thomas Spence, Vice-president of the Norsk Journalistlag (Norwegian Journalist
Union) told ABS-CBN Europe in an interview.

The union from Norway recently signed a resolution together with other journalist unions from Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark calling for an "end to the impunity" and for the Philippine government "to bring the murderers of the 59 people including 30 journalists in Maguindanao and more than 100 other killings of journalists and media people to justice" at a Nordic journalist conference held in Helsingfors, Finland last November 30.

Is UK and US concerns themselves only with the freedom and safety of Iranian, Iraqi, North Korean and PRO-Chinese journalist?

Philippine massacre was not even given the fair time like Iran, Iraq, North Korea and China to be aired in CNN and BBC channels.
