Two men abducted. No ransom, abducted not kidnapped Dissimilar occupations. One with the knowledge of the most successful mass media secrets in the history of modern advertising - the ubiquitous AOL free CD. The other with the knowledge of how to compartmentalize deadly contagions, Hemorrhagic fever (ebola) being at the top of list. Scary stuff. We need to know more. Discussion welcome, links wanted.

It doesn't have anything to do with the Internet. It has everything to do with the fact that this guy has a good understanding of how to operate the AOL customer list. These folks probably have every address in the United States.
This particular executive may well have been carrying around a copy of it in compacted form on CDs.
With that list in hand the terrorists not only would know every address in America, they would have avoided hundreds of thousands of dollars in mailing list rental costs. Then, with that biologist to "fine tune" stuff, they'd be ready to launch another attack - through the mail where they know we are unprepared to detect such an attack until it is too late!
I shouldn't talk like this, but . . .
"They" are not stupid. Crazy for sure, but not stupid. "They" would know that leaving Hilla the Hun in place would be more damaging to civilization as we know it than trying to collect ransom.
