Would you negotiate with terrorists?
January 19, 2017 at 10:33 am
Imagine that one of your loved ones has been kidnapped. You have been sent proof of life and a ransom demand for a large amount of money. Between you and everyone you know, you can just about scrape the money together but it will leave you broke.

The people holding your loved one are unknown, as is their location. Experts have no advice or assurances they can give you. You have no guarantee whatsoever that if you pay the money, your loved one will be returned, except the word of the kidnappers. The way you pay isn't important, but you can assume there's no chance of catching them this way.

Would you pay?
