The problem around the world is, these thieving bandits know we are a civilized group of people who do not want our people beheaded by these corrupt SOBS! So grabbing journalists and diplomats make it easy money for them. I was going to say "maybe if and when the group holding them can be discovered later, it should be a quiet no hear, no see operation of.... "show no mercy take no prisoners" with them. Certainly after paying millions in ransom which will encourage them to grab the next pair. Now I was going to say that! However! But in reality these sons of bitches the next time would grab western folks, hold them a couple of days, videotape them being alive, but behead them anyway for revenge. We would in-turn pay again but get nothing in return but a couple of bodies, if anything. Dealing with savages isn't easy in any way of civilized dealing nor understanding, other than give them the money, get our people back! However,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, some day quietly in the night! Well I need not go on! I'm sure you'll undertand the message! ted
