Jordan has some ideas on how to deal with this: Kill our airman and will will execute all Islamic State prisoners. I have to admire the tenacity.

Pardon the source:

Of course terrorists won't stop murdering their hostages if not paid off (since financial gains are just one of their motivations).

I understand those arguing that sparing human lives is most important, yet when we realize that the money spend to save some will inevitably contribute to killings of some other people, those efforts may be in vain.
