Then we're decided!

I also think we should open fire on anyone else paying up.

I would say no in principle as well Goring, but would we think differently if we were personally affected?

Do the figures show that Brits are less likely to be taken hostage due to this policy or not?

At the moment , an Isralei soldier is being held hostage by a Palestinian terrorist group, they want about 500 of their people being held in Israel in return.

Cant they make a point of hunting down and blowing up as many pirates as possible, instead of negociating. Thats what Jack Bauer would do.
