Another American Hostage

The image of the young private from Batavia, OH being held by the Iraqi Resistance as a hostage is heart-wrenching. He says he came to Iraq to free them but didn't go willingly, just wanted to be home with his child.

This comes with a government reminder that we don't negotiate with terrorists. Now, I understand that. I do. But I wonder if the young private's family finds that comforting.
