#2 ISIS demanding $ 6.6m for release of hostage.

UPI - An unidentified American female aid worker was taken captive by Islamic State militants a year ago. IS is now demanding a $6.6 million ransom and the freedom of jailed Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui as conditions for her release.

Hopefully some alarm bells will be going off, and not for the $6.6m demand. Underlined emphasis is mine.

#3 I'd be willing to give them the $6.6 million worth of ransom, but only in high explosives, delivered at high velocity.

#5 I do not know if this woman is a true humanitarian or a political activist like Rachel Corrie (St. Pancake). But anyone with a bit of common sense would give Syria a wide berth at this time.

#7 If you go into those areas as an American, you should act like you are going into Ebola infected hospitals. If you get in trouble, no one is gonna save your ass and more than likely it will kill you.
