Sometimes irony is just so ironic.

I hope he is released unharmed.

> MEXICO CITY — A U.S. anti-kidnapping expert was abducted by gunmen in northern Mexico last week, a sign of just how bold this nation’s kidnapping gangs have become.

How embarrassing.

Prayers for him and for his family.

Anti-kidnapping expert going to Mexico....isn’t that kind of like painting a target on your behind and going to the rifle range?

[wolfcreek]

Along with him and $197 million, the poor Mexican kidnappers will improve their miserable lives.

[Andy from Beaverton]

I think ‘expert’ can now be removed.

[TheBattman]

Heck of an expert who can’t even watch his own back... I guess this would be the ultimate example of “do as I say, not as I do”...

Real experts know better than to involve themselves in the nitty gritty of their expertise area! Real experts play experts on TV!

[TonyStark]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I mean, ahem, how terrible...

[muir_redwoods]

I am no expert but here's my approach.

STAY THE HELL OUT OF MEXICO. THERE IS NO GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO GO THERE. EVER.

[Liberty Valance]

This is most unfortunate. Was he by any chance wearing a badge? For a few billion pesos I think he'll be home for Christmas. ~ Feliz Navidad ~

[Man50D]

Rule#1: Don’t go to an area where the probability of being kidnapped is high.

[sport]

Must not be much of an expert.

The BIble says that pride goeth before a fall.

[Teflonic]

Seems to me like an inside player in the mexican government tagged this guy.

[Minutemen]

This sounds like a case for a cracker-jack negotiator.... Condoleeza Rice!

[yooper]

Karma can be such a bitch......

That said, we should demand this dude back alive or else...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...a sign of just how bold this nation’s kidnapping gangs have become...”

...and that U.S. security ‘consultant’ Felix Batista may not know what the hell he’s talking about?

Who pays the ransom when the guy that’s protecting you from ransom is ransomed? (My head hurts.)

[TribalPrincess2U]

Mexico is another Iraq only closer to home. We are going to live to regret
letting this crap for not nipping it in the bud.

The world org. must see many benefits to be had.

I wonder if he gets to keep the advance they gave him.
