If somehow you manage to get captured by people that will at least treat you like a Human being, you could wait it out until the conflict is over. At least, if the conflict is ever really going to be over.
If you have reason to believe the hostage will not be killed tomorrow, then you don't need to launch a raid tomorrow. However if you believe the people holding the hostage may very well kill that hostage.....doesn't it make sense to attempt the rescue of that hostage at a time of your choosing instead of waiting until it becomes an absolute imperative?
