Are the U.S. and its allies doing anything to slow hostage taking by foreign states? Certainly, but those efforts clearly are not working to slow the practice. In negotiating the release of fellow citizens are we incentivizing more hostage taking? What is at stake if we fail to neutralize this asymmetrical foreign policy tool?
