Tam, I'm sure most of us feel both outrage and sadness when an event like this happens. I don't see what the government could have done though. I do hold this government responsible for the shedding of a lot of innocent blood and even helping create the situation that led to Ken Bigely's kidkapping. I don't however believe it is possible to give in to the outrageous demands of terrorists as I think in doing so, one would open the floodgates for more kidknappings and demands.

I doubt they read here but my deepest sympathies go out to the family of Ken Bigley.
