Oh, I wasn't arguing with you there. I am solidly against any negotaitions with terrorists, EVER, period.
The point I was trying to make (and not doing it very well; it's getting late here and the eyelids are getting heavy) is that if people weren't so incredibly stupid, situations like this wouldn't happen so often. She has no business being in that situation to begin with.
It's like those idiots who ran the checkpoint by the airport last year (AFTER their government had given in to the terrorists). A guy lost his life, but it was a phenomenally stupid thing to do. They were lucky to only lose one person in that little escapade.
In other words, I'm going slightly off-point and ranting about stupidity. A pet peeve of mine.
Sigh.
Time for bed.
