I wonder if Mr. Derbyshire has ever been held hostage. I wonder if he was ever in the military, and if so, in what capacity? Easy to talk when one is sitting behind a computer keyboard.

Indeed, but that doesn't mean Derb is wrong, as he points out.

Doesn't mean he is right either. Based on everything I've been reading, sounds like these hostages did what they were told to do by their superiors. If that is the case, would Derbyshire have them disobey their superiors?

Again, it is very easy for him to talk sitting behind a computer keyboard.
