A kidnapping victim will do anything or say anything to win release.

I've seen this statement on every thread of this type. It always puzzles me.

May I attempt to disprove it by asking you a quesion?

Would you kill your own child to win release?

That is the most inane statement I have ever seen on Free Republic.

I can play too. Would you kill your own child NOT to win release?

No, but I would say whatever they wanted to hear. I'd make any political statement they wanted. I'd agree to convert to their religion.

I have limits - I wouldn't reveal any sensitive information - at least I hope I wouldn't, thankfully I've never been tested in that way. And I wouldn't want anyone to negotiate for my release. But I would make any statement I had to make to stay alive.
