Heh...heh...heh. Well...that certainly is one good way to end it.
I remember the [true] story of how the KGB handled a hostage situation back during the Carter Administration. Remember how fucked up the Middle East was then? Think Beirut.
One day, some raghead terrorists put the habeous grabbus on two members of the Soviet legation in Beirut. This was just one of many such incidents during this time frame. The BGs were operating virtually without fear and snatching up westerners all the time, then killing them and posting pics or vids.
Anyway....the KGB reacted quickly and decisively. They went out and grabbed up a relative of one of the terror boyz. They sent him back in a day or so to his terrorist family...or should I say pieces of him. Along with the dead guy the KGB sent a clearly worded warning that they KNEW where the terrorists AND THEIR FAMILIES lived and that unless their two Soviet citizens were immediately released, certain of those family members were going to turn up missing. They assured the ragheads that they were NOT the Americans and thus constrained by any silly ethics or morals against direct and extremely prejudicial actions.
The two Soviet citizens were released the next day...unharmed.
