#3  Return to where she was held, turn the place over for evidence. Arrest everyone, interrogate everyone. If they're not 100% cooperative, destroy their property. Make sure word gets around that having hostage-takers as neighbours is a serious liability.

#2  "Have we given up monitoring traffic into and out of Fallujah?"

Pretty much, yeah. The marines only guard the main roadway, but leave all the old streets alone.

#1  Lot's of play up here in Vancouver on this story because she's got family in the area. Hopefully, we are picking up good intel on the hostage taking pipeline from this incident.

One of the things I wonder about is how the bad guys got her from Baghdad to Fallujah for safekeeping while they worked on the ransom. Have we given up monitoring traffic into and out of Fallujah? And if so, why?
