Probably get some stick for this but...why do these people carry on working in a country that has made no secret of it's hatred and treatment of foreigners? I thought the same about when Ken Bigley was a hostage;he had made no secret of going out there to do one last "big job" ;he endangered his life,put his family thru hell and ended up dying because of ignoring warnings not to go and by being too greedy.I have far more sympathy for the hostage's family in these cases;the words "I told you so" probably ringing in their ears forever more. I am not condoning the kidnapping in anyway;it's a cowardly and horrific form of counter attack but if you are out there you have chosen to put yourself at risk.
