Choosing the right targets is far more important than choosing B-52's or Cruise Missiles. I don't remember the post but JMA recommended the "Family relations" and I agree. Tell the hostage takers that we can't do anything about them taking our hostages but if they kill them or want release them we will start terminating their family bloodline.....down to the last person and then we will kill them (the Kidnappers) after we show them pictures of all their families grave sites. In other words the targeting should be very personal and very painfull.....destroy the moral and physical bonds that holds the Family system together and those folks will knock this crap off in short order. And if some JAG officer says we can't do that he should be arrested and placed on trial for giving aid and comfort to the enemy
