– that the military arm of the government that says it won’t negotiate with hostage takers doesn’t mind using the tactic itself.

U.S. forces in at least two cases have detained wives of suspected insurgents in Iraq in an attempt to pressure the men into surrendering, documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union confirm.

When they do it it’s holding innocent men, women, and children hostage and it’s a dispicable act, when the “good guys” ^TM do it they’re leveraging for surrender…. this whole war on terror thing is gonna result in a complete rewriting of the entire dictionary before its’ over, well, the American one anyway.
