Hey, remember over on that thread about Khalid's two kids being found and taken into custody and Milwaukee_Guy
saying, "When we hold children as hostages, how do we differ from the bad guys?"? This thread should be a sufficient answer.

Exactly my point isn't it? Why do we want to hold the terrorists kids as hostages?

Don't get me wrong. Now say one of the captured terrorists happened to fall out the loading ramp (at 10,000 altitude) of a C-130 while he was being airlifted back to Gitmo while all of his psycho killer buddies look on.....

Hey close that ramp! Oops! :-O

Do you think, for a SECOND, that our guys are going to hurt those kids?????????? They're probably living better now than they ever have.

Isn't it obvious that a tape with bullet holes in the back of the desk chairs of a school room ..... is a far-cry different than our having those kids? Come on....

No one but you has said they were being held as hostages. And if there were, they'd be wrong too. Let's say that a mass murderer and a chief officer of a criminal organization has a couple of kids who are taken into custody shortly after he has been captured. Are they being "held hostage"? Hardly. They may be kept somewhere out of the public eye for their own protection, but this is in no way like their daddy's plans to hold hostage and kill innocent kids their own age for his own political/religious ends.
